Toni Morrison

In conversation with Michael Krasny

Friday, November 21 , 2008  
Masonic Auditorium, 8pm

Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winning author, editor and professor, Toni Morrison is best known for her richly detailed and epic novels. In her last nine novels, including Beloved, Paradise, and Song of Solomon, she has focused on the particular joys and sorrows in the lives of black American women. In 1993, Morrison became the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Morrison's newest novel, A Mercy, revisits some of her most familiar themes, revealing what lies beneath the surface of slavery and exploring the way that acts of mercy, like everything else, have unforeseen consequences.
