Author Alice Randall was born Mari-Alice Randall on May 4, 1959 in Detroit, Michigan. At Harvard University, Randall earned her B.A. degree in English and American literature in 1981. She moved to Nashville and wrote a number one country hit, XXX's and OOO's: An American Girl and became the first African American woman to have a number one country hit. Randall's first novel The Wind Done Gone, a reinterpretation and parody of Gone with the Wind, became a New York Times bestseller. Randall's second novel, Pushkin and the Queen of Spades, was named as one of the Washington Post's "Best fiction of 2004." Randall wrote a screenplay for CBS based on her song XXX's and OOO's: An American Girl in 1994, and contributed to screenplay adaptations of Their Eyes Were Watching God, Brer Rabbit, and Parting the Waters. Married to attorney David Ewing, she was a writer-in-residence at Vanderbilt University. |
