Sula is very nearly a horror novel. We're not talking serial killers or unstoppable monstrosities, but raw human horror, the kind of horror of which I wish there was more. Toni Morrison might cringe to think anyone would consider her work in the same breath as horror fiction, but there are quite a f...
Absolutely amazing, Morrison can put a story together as very few can. Although only a short novel, so much is said, so much emotional territory is covered. When Sweetness, a light skinned black gives birth to a blue black baby, she is appalled as is her husband who quickly leaves the family. Treati...
124 był nawiedzony. Pełen dziecięcego jadu. Wiedziały o tym kobiety mieszkające w tym domu i wiedziały dzieci. Początek najsłynniejszej powieści Toni Morrison elektryzuje jak mało co w literaturze.

Podobny poziom natężenia emocji znajdziecie w każdym z kilku rozdziałów N...

And all I remember was I couldn't appreciate the beauty of every written word in it until now. Morrison's prose comes off as almost lyr...
Read with Feminist Book Club @FeministBC This is my contribution to the discussion:I think the main theme of the novel is the self-hatred produced by a racist culture. The most overt image of this is Pecola’s pathological desire for blue eyes, but it is also powerfully evident in the character of Ge...
