THE Greatest Writer in this century,
This review is from: Toni Morrison boxed set (Paperback)
There is nothing difficult in reading Ms Morrison. She is very detailed and that requires concentration. She answers no questions for you and perhaps that is what makes some readers say she is too complicated. If you remember the character, when she jumps forward or backward in the story, it is easy to pick up where she left off. Beloved is merely a song about a woman's commitment to not suffering any more indignities if it were in her power not to do so. Perhaps her initial method was extreme but then again, what is not extreme about enslavement? What is not extreme about a group of people having no history beyond the 19th century? What is difficult about her novels is that you have to have the answers to these questions before you start reading.

"Looking back in anger" with a sad tune!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Toni Morrison Jazz Beloved Song of Solomon (Paperback)
There's only one way to remember them:reading and humming the "song"they inspire along the poetical and invoking lines of an almost shamanic incantation rising to bring them back into life so that we meet,know and re-bury them with love and awe,with respect and recognition of a sacrifice as supreme as crucifying itself. They are all deities in the lost and sacred society bush of ancestors long forgotten and recalled when the moments are supreme, when it comes to love, life and death: Beloved, Macon Dead, Violet, Circe...
5.0 out of 5 stars
Greatest US writer of the 20th and perhaps 21st century,
This review is from: Toni Morrison boxed set (Paperback)
I agree with the comments of the other reviewers...simply want to add that I believe Jazz to be the great american novel for both its writing (which in and of itself is a kind of jazz music) and its use of that unique American music, jazz, to describe and explore love.
