Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Toni Morrison calls the engagement of an open mind with another open mind "the peace of the dancing mind." Honored by the National Book Foundation last fall, Morrison gave this ten-minute acceptance speech. Beautifully crafted and delivered with Morrison's quiet grace, the recording is an inspiring gem. Morrison creates the feeling of intimacy while delivering a universal message to writers and lovers of literature and reading. Kudos to Random House AudioBooks for taking the opportunity to publish this program. Preserving and offering these wonderful comments to a broad audience is a bright light of innovation for spoken-word recordings. R.F.W.
