"Among the elements that make the book so good are its personal honesty and lack of pretentiousness, characteristics that shine through the writing bespeaking the evolution of a strong and remarkable character." – The New York Times

"Zami is a fast-moving chronicle. From the author's vivid childhood memories in Harlem to her coming of age in the late 50's, the nature of Audre Lorde's work is cyclical. It especially relates the linkage of women who have shaped her...Lorde brings into play her craft of lush description and characterization. It keeps unfolding page after page." – Off Our Backs

“Filled with finely distilled reflection, as sage and resonant as ancient wisdom literature." – Ms. Magazine

"Her perfectly ripened prose moves along in seemingly effortless sentences that are vivid, charming, nostalgic, hilarious, rich, succulent, sensual, and erotic, but always at the service of the art." – Women's Review of Books
