The essential companion to Toni Morrison's work, written by Namwali Serpell, 'one of the most innovative and intelligent writers today' (Financial Times)
A giant in American letters, and one of our most beloved writers, Nobel laureate Toni Morrison has inspired generations. But her artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona, perhaps because, as Serpell puts it, 'she is our only truly canonical black, female writer—and her work is complex.' In On Morrison, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning writer and a professor of literature at Harvard University, to illuminate Morrison's masterful experiments with literary form.
This is Morrison as you've never encountered her before, a journey through her oeuvre—her fiction, poetry, dramatic works, and criticism—with contextual guidance, archival discoveries, and original close readings. At once accessible and uncompromisingly rigorous, On Morrison is a primer not only on how to read one of the most significant Black American authors of all time, but also on how to read great works of literature.
Stylish, edifying, and electrifying in its intelligence, this dialogue between two artist-readers is literary criticism at its very best.
'Stunning reconsiderations of Morrison… incisive, tender, and also honest and unsparing' HANIF ABDURRAQIB, author of A Little Devil in America

Reseñas de la Crítica
'In On Morrison, Serpell applies her prodigious intellect, vast literary archive, and her own calling as a novelist to magnificent effect in this breathtaking, provocative, and refreshing engagement with Morrison as a thinker as well as an artist' (IMANI PERRY)
'On Morrison is not simply a literary miracle; it is a cultural feat, a damn near perfect concoction made maybe once in a generation... we should be thankful to share the earth with this art object' (KIESE LAYMON, author of Heavy: An American Memoir)
