...and what are the strengths and/or weaknesses of that writing style?

Answer 1

Try this site, it offers some broad analysis of Walker's work and relation to her biography:

I think one thing you have to consider is that Walker tends to stick with a fairly narrow set of themes - on the one hand, she uses topics she knows very well and that's part of the reason her work is so accessible, but, to a degree, the overarching ideas do not seem to change much from one story/book/essay to the next.

Start there and see what else you can come up with - good luck.
