Zami: A New Spelling of My Name

Audre Lorde pioneered biomythography in Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, originally published in 1982. In this extraordinary tale, Lorde weaves a narrative tapestry out of the threads of her own life–from her family’s immigration to New York through her own coming of age–and the lives of the women who shaped her.
