À propos de cet audio
Collected in one astonishing volume, Toni Morrison’s explorations of Blackness and the American literary canon
Perhaps no novelist has meant more to contemporary fiction than Toni Morrison. And in addition to being a Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Morrison spent 17 years as the Robert F. Goheen Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University, teaching courses in African American studies, creative writing, and American literature.
Now, for the first time ever, Morrison’s lectures on the American canon are compiled together, granting readers unprecedented access to Morrison’s scholarship, critical eye, and relentless brilliance. Researching several of America’s most famous works and authors, Morrison illuminates the relationship between race, the arts, and life beyond the page.
From Herman Melville’s Moby Dick to Carson McCullers’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin to the works of Faulkner and Hemmingway, Morrison interrogates major works of American literature as only she can. With an introduction from Morrison’s colleague, Claudia Brodsky, Language as Liberation is a revelatory book that once again displays Morrison’s intellectual and literary greatness.
