Toni Morrison in Four Novels

In which I discussed four novels by the late Toni Morrison.

You can buy all of them and the rest of Morrison's books on The Book Depository:

Hey guys! My name's Juan and I make videos about books (mostly, literary fiction).

Beautiful, Juan. I’ve only read The Bluest Eye, and it was just stunning.

Good morning. This was a wonderful tribute to Morrison‘s legacy. I’ve read these books but it’s been a long time.

So sad she’s gone but what a body of work to leave behind. I’ve read all of these except Beloved as well as Tar Baby but want to go back and reread The Bluest Eye as it was 25 years ago. Sula is one of my favorites but I look forward to still having six or seven of her novels left to read.

Thank you for this tribute, Juan. I just found my copy of Beloved and will read it this month. I remember Song of Solomon fondly; it was the first book of hers that I read, and the ending left me feeling like I'd just experienced literary fulfillment. Democracy Now's YouTube channel has at least two videos interviewing Morrison's friends Angela Davis, Nikki Giovanni and Sonia Sanchez. Very moving.

Love Toni Morrison. I am reading _Paradise_ one of her later novels right now.

I first read Song of Solomon during my first year of college. At first, Morrison's style of writing was too hard for me to understand & turned me off of her work. But after reading Beloved, I saw passed my initial reaction to her writing. I loved the prose and beautiful dialogue within Beloved. Btw, have you read Tar Baby? (1981) It's less socio-political than Morrison first 3 novels.
