In conversation with Michael Krasny
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.
