  • that was an awesome book. thank you.

  • What was her motivation for writing? racism?

  • Toni Morrison is a literary genius. She's so vivid and brilliant in her writing. Her novels of one of which everyone should read. Even though not being an African American culture, Morrison' s novel was able to make the feeling of racism a mutual feeling throughout all races. Being a 16 year old, I was incapable of relating to the mature actions and the emotions that came with it but the novel was so great that I actually felt like I was experiencing it. God Bless You Toni Morrison.
