THE NOBEL FOUNDATION Nobel Lecture by Toni Morrison Nobel Prize in Literature 1993 December 8, 1993 at at Stockholm Concert Hall, Stockholm, Sweden "Once upon a time there was an old woman. Blind but wise." Or was it an old man? A guru, perhaps. Or a griot soothing restless children. I have heard this story, or one exactly like it, in the lore of several cultures. "Once upon a time there was an old woman. Blind. Wise." In the version I know the woman is the daughter of slaves, black, American, and lives alone in a small house outside of town. Her reputation for wisdom is without peer and without question. Among her people she is both the law and its transgression. The honor she is paid and the awe in which she is held reach beyond her neighborhood to places far away; to the city where the intelligence of rural prophets is the source of much amusement. One day the woman is visited by some young people who seem to be bent on disproving her clairvoyance and showing her up for the fraud they believe she is. Their plan is simple: they enter her house and ask the one question the answer to which rides solely on her difference from them, a difference they regard as a profound disability: her blindness. They stand before her, and one of them says, "Old woman, I hold in my hand a bird. Tell me whether it is living or dead." She does not answer, and the question is repeated. "Is the bird I am holding living or dead?"

Tar Baby "Sula" (Reviewed by Debbie Lee Wesselman JUN 4, 2006) If The Bluest Eye marked Toni Morrison's entry into the literary world, then Sula established her as a literary force. This short novel follows two friends, Sula and Nel, who grow up together in the Bottom, a black section of an Ohio town, and who become fast friends despite their radically different home lives. When a horrific accident occurs and the girls decide to keep it a secret, they are both forever connected, even as the event begins to drive them apart. Nel embraces the conventional life of her own mother, marrying Jude right out of high school, while Sula escapes her wildly distressed family life for college and a life of expensive clothes and white men. However, when Sula returns and everything bad about the Bottom is blamed on her, Nel is forced to confront what is "bad" within herself.

Autos Tag: toni morrison September 6, 2007, 11:18 am Interconnecting Updike Quotations By Dwight Garner In his book of memoirs, “Self-Consciousness,” published in 1989, John Updike wrote that he began the book because of a rumor someone wanted to write his biography – “to take my life, my lode of ore and heap of memories, from me!” Almost 20 years later, there is still no major biography of Updike, 75, in the works, and none on the horizon. (We may be in for a gold-rush of sorts for biographers over the next decade or so: Thomas Pynchon, Robert Stone, Toni Morrison and Don DeLillo – none of whom I wish dead any time soon – are just a few of the many writers whose literary lives will surely be fought over.) I was thinking about Updike and his would-be biographers because of the news – announced on the Updike Web site The Centurian – that a life of Updike has appeared in Germany: Volker Hage’s “ John Updike: Eine Biographie This slim book does not, alas, sound like the serious consideration of Updike’s life and work some of us have been waiting for; it sounds more like an academic run-through of his works.
