Toni Morrison: The Last Interview: And Other Conversations

"Knowledge is what's important, you know? Not the erasure, but the confrontation of it." -- TONI MORRISON In this wide-ranging collection of thought-provoking interviews -- including her first and last -- Toni Morrison (whom President Barrack Obama called a "national treasure") details not only her writing life, but also her other careers as a teacher, and as a publisher, as well as the gripping story of her family. In fact, Morrison reveals here that her Nobel Prize-winning novels, such as Beloved and Song of Solomon, were born out of her family's stories -- such as those of her great-grandmother, born a slave, or her father, escaping the lynch mobs of the South. With an introduction by her close friend, poet Nikki Giovani, Morrison hereby weaves yet another fascinating and inspiring narrative -- that of herself.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Melville HousePublished: 07/07/2020Publisher: Melville House PublishingISBN: 9781612198736Pages: 192Weight: 0.44lbsSize: 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d
