I think she is brilliant, I love her work.  My fave book by her is 'Song of Solomon'.  I am getting ready to read 'Jazz'.  Any thoughts?

I didnt watch the movie however...I was very disapointed that they even attempted to make it.  there is just too much that cannot be captured in film.

She came and spoke at our school once though -- she's extremely cool. Report to moderator   Logged ^Read my fic!

Re:Toni Morrison « Reply #14 on: July 11, 2003, 05:05:10 am » PHF1138: sorry again...I read too fast sometimes  But you're still lucky! nfg: I agree with you! My fav part is the chapter where there's no punctuation at all, only words, as if the baby ghost really was thinking..I think this particular part is difficult to understand..Toni Morrison must have used lots of symbols I don't understand, lol.
