I was expecting some interesting observations on Morrison's work, and what I got instead was ranting. Justified ranting - mind you, but ranting all the same. The connections between these personal essays and Morrison's work were weak at best. I even found a few of the essays to be silly and childish. Plenty of other reviewers feel otherwise so I'll conclude that it wasn't my cup of tea. ( ) I was not sure what to expect from this book but since Toni Morrison is one of my favorite authors, I decided to give this book a "listen". I was very pleasantly surprised with the thoughts of the memoir essays by four college professors on the writing of Ms. Morrison books and how they related it to personal incidents in their lives. I found their thoughts to be insightful, thoughtful, intimate, and timely. It reminded me of how words on a page can help make sense of our world and how great writing is can be timeless in its application to humanity. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:In this startling group memoir, four friends??black and white, gay and straight, immigrant and American-born??use Toni Morrison's novels as a springboard for intimate and revealing conversations about the problems of everyday racism and living whole in times of uncertainty. Tackling everything from first love and Soul Train to police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement, the authors take up what it means to read challenging literature collaboratively and to learn in public as an act of individual reckoning and social resistance. Framing their book club around collective secrets, the group bears witness to how Morrison's works and words can propel us forward while we sit with uncomfortable questions about race, gender, and identity. How do we make space for black vulnerability in the face of white supremacy and internalized self-loathing? How do historical novels speak to us now about the delicate seams that hold black minds and bodies together? This slim and brilliant confessional offers a radical vision for book clubs as sites of self-discovery and communal healing. The Toni Morrison Book Club insists that we find ourselves in fiction and think of Morrison as a spiritual guide to our most difficult thoughts and ideas about American literature and Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
