âKnowledge is whatâs important, you know? Not the erasure, but the confrontation of it.â â TONI MORRISON
Â
In this wide-ranging collection of thought-provoking interviews â including her first and last â Toni Morrison (whom President Barrack Obama called a ânational treasureâ) details not only her writing life, but also her other careers as a teacher, and as a publisher, as well as the gripping story of her family. In fact, Morrison reveals here that her Nobel Prize-winning novels, such as Beloved and Song of Solomon, were born out of her familyâs stories â such as those of her great-grandmother, born a slave, or her father, escaping the lynch mobs of the South. With an introduction by her close friend, poet Nikki Giovani, Morrison hereby weaves yet another fascinating and inspiring narrative â that of herself.
