Morrison’s 1970s novels are quite good.
So you’d rather Morrison’s novels be taught at college level rather than Lord Byron or Wordsworth? You can read Morrison on summer vacation in high school. (If those kids can still read, which I doubt.)
Would you or anyone know about her if she weren’t the color of brown?
I haven’t read any Morrisons or Walkers or Haleys. I read Harlem Renaissance writers in college, and some authentic African writers on my own. But the White Guilt Award recipients, no thank you. I do pick up bestselling books when I visit bookstores, from Tom Clancy to Hairy Potty, and probably the above mentioned as well, read a page or two, put them down, and head to the john to wash my hands and face.
