The Toni Morrison Book Club by Juda Bennett
In this startling group memoir, four friends - black and white, gay and straight, immigrant and American-born - use Toni Morrison's novels as a springboard for intimate and revealing conversations about the problems of everyday racism and living whole in times of uncertainty.
What can the work of Toni Morrison teach us about the world we live in? Morrison's work provides a scaffolding here; the narrative frame of the distinct voices is unique and makes for an intriguing multivocal experience" - Emily Bernard, author of Black Is the Body: Stories from My Grandmother's Time, My Mother's Time, and Mine
"Poignant. Fear and dread run through this book in a really impactful way, and every revelation felt substantive and singular. Reading Morrison becomes vital to the group’s efforts to mourn and to march forward in their own lives." - Michelle S. Hite, Spelman College
