Burn This Book by Toni Morrison
As Americans we often take our freedom of speech for granted. When we talk about censorship we talk about China. But the recent presidential election has shined a spotlight on profound acts of censorship in our own backyard. This book discusses the role of the writer as observer, and as someone who sees what is really taking place.
“It’s a slim volume, one that can be read in an afternoon, but don’t let this fool you into thinking it lacks powerMorrison’s—and the book’s—central thesis is true, if not necessarily original: ‘A writer’s life and work are not a gift to mankind; they are its necessity.’” — Los Angeles Times
Toni Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. She is the author of many novels, including Sula, Song of Solomon, Beloved, and, most recently, A Mercy. She has also received the National Book Critics Circle Award and a Pulitzer Prize for her fiction.
