At her best, Morrison is a good writer. Sula and Song of Solomon are much better than the overrated Beloved.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll keep an open mind and give ‘em a looksie.

I agree song of Solomon is better than Beloved. When I read Beloved I thought what the heck . . she’s not even trying at this point. Why they made us read this slop in grad school is beyond me. I always recommend Walker Percy—he’s one of my favorite southern writers.
