Description

Toni Morrison's non-fiction collection spans four decades, exploring themes of race, gender and globalisation. This powerful gathering of essays, speeches and meditations interrogates the world around us, delving into the duty of the press, the role of the artist and the search for truth and moral integrity. Structured in three parts, the collection is introduced by a prayer for the dead following 9/11, a meditation on Martin Luther King, and a eulogy for James Baldwin. Morrison's Nobel lecture on the power of language is accompanied by lectures to Amnesty International and the Newspaper Association of America. The collection also revisits her novels, including The Bluest Eye, Sula and Beloved, reassessing their significance. A testament to Morrison's extraordinary contribution to the literary world, this collection celebrates her erudite and essential ideas that speak to us all.
