By Holly Hedge To pick up a Toni Morrison book is to pick up a biography of a nation of people who have shaped the body of America since their exodus from Africa. With seven extraordinary novels and four major literary awards, including the 1988 Politer Prize and 1993 Nobel Prize under her belt, Toni Morrison is in the midst of a more than fulfilling career as a master novelist. Notables from Ralph Ellison to Angela Davis have been champions of her work declaring her one of the best writers ever. Morrison's prose, laced with soft traces of feminism can proudly compete with the highest praised novels out there. To pick up a Toni Morrison book is to pick up a biography of a nation of people who have shaped the body of America since their exodus from Africa. To sit and read a Morrison book is be confronted with a painfully brilliant light. From this point, you can either squint, shut the book and remain ignorant, or you can step into this light and become educated like never before. This light I speak of is the truth. Morrison entered into this world on February 18, 1931, in the town of Lorain, Ohio as Chloe Anthony Wofford. She was born unto George Wofford, a shipyard welder and Ramah Willis Wofford as their second daughter. When white Southerners cheated the Wofford's father out of 88 acres of land, they angrily and hastily packed up and eventually settled in the steel-mill community of Lorain. Toni Morrison was extremely studious and participated in various organizations including the drama club, National Honors Society and serving as student body Treasurer at Lorain High School.

Archives Big Dig Book Reviews Boston Capital ... Week in Photos Search the Globe: Today Yesterday MORRISON AWARDED NOBEL WRITER'S 'VISIONARY FORCE' CITED Author: By Gail Caldwell, Globe Staff Date: Friday, October 8, 1993 Page: Section: NATIONAL/FOREIGN Toni Morrison, the acclaimed novelist and critic, has been awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, the Swedish Academy announced yesterday. She is the first black American and the eighth woman to be cited for the prestigious award since its inception in 1901. In its citation, the Swedish Academy lauded Morrison for the "visionary force and poetic import" of her six novels, which include "Song of Solomon" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Beloved." The Academy further praised the 62-year-old professor of humanities at Princeton for the "epic power" of her fiction, for its "unerring ear for dialogue and richly expressive depictions of black America." Morrison is the 11th American writer to win the Nobel, which last went to an American in 1987 when the prize was awarded to Joseph Brodsky. Speaking through her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, Morrison expressed gratitude that a black American had been named by the Academy. "I am outrageously happy," she said. "But what is most wonderful for me, personally, is to know that the prize at last has been awarded to an African-American. Winning as an American is very special but winning as a black American is a knockout." Born Chloe Anthony Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, in 1931, the daughter of Alabama sharecroppers who had migrated north, Morrison began her career of letters in academe and publishing. After teaching stints at Howard and Yale, she became an editor at Random House in 1967. Her first novel, "The Bluest Eye," was published in 1970, followed by "Sula" and "Song of Solomon," which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1978. "Tar Baby" followed in 1981; in 1983, Morrison resigned from Random House in order to write full-time. She spent five years working on the novel that would become ''Beloved," the story of an ex-slave, Sethe, and her children, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988.

MAY 22, 1989 THE PAIN OF BEING BLACK TONI MORRISON, WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR HER GRITTY NOVEL BELOVED, SMOLDERS AT THE INEQUITIES THAT BLACKS AND WOMEN STILL FACE BY BONNIE ANGELO Q. In your contemporary novels you portray harsh confrontation between black and white. In Tar Baby a character says, ''White folks and black folks should not sit down and eat together or do any of those personal things in life.'' It seems hopeless if we can't bridge the abysses you see between sexes, classes, races. A. I feel personally sorrowful about black-white relations a lot of the time because black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war, to prevent other kinds of real conflagrations. If there were no black people here in this country, it would have been Balkanized. The immigrants would have torn each other's throats out, as they have done everywhere else. But in becoming an American, from Europe, what one has in common with that other immigrant is contempt for me it's nothing else but color. Wherever they were from, they would stand together. They could all say, ''I am not that.'' So in that sense, becoming an American is based on an attitude: an exclusion of me.

Morrison, Toni, Morrison, 1993 Thomas Engstrom/Gamma Liaison original name CHLOE ANTHONY WOFFORD (b. Feb. 18, 1931, Lorain, Ohio, U.S.), American writer noted for her examination of black experience (particularly black female experience) within the black community. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. Morrison grew up in the American Midwest. She attended Howard University (B.A., 1953) in Washington, D.C., and Cornell University (M.A., 1955) in New York. After teaching at Texas Southern University for two years, she taught at Howard from 1957 to 1964. In 1965 she became a fiction editor. From 1984 she taught writing at the State University of New York at Albany, leaving in 1989 to join the faculty of Princeton University. Morrison's first book, The Bluest Eye (1970), is a novel of initiation concerning a victimized adolescent black girl who is obsessed by white standards of beauty and longs to have blue eyes. In 1973 a second novel, Sula was published; it examines (among other issues) the dynamics of friendship and the expectations for conformity within the community. Song of Solomon (1977) is told by a male narrator in search of his identity; its publication brought Morrison to national attention.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Swedish Academy The Permanent Secretary Press release: Nobel Prize for Literature 1993 October 7, 1993 Toni Morrison "who, in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality." "My work requires me to think about how free I can be as an African-American woman writer in my genderized, sexualized, wholly racialized world". These are the words of this year's Nobel Laureate in Literature, the American writer Toni Morrison, in her book of essays "Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination" (1992). And she adds, "My project rises from delight, not disappointment..." Toni Morrison is 62 years old, and was born in Lorain, Ohio, in the United States. Her works comprise novels and essays. In her academic career she is a professor in the humanities at the University of Princeton , New Jersey. She has written six novels, each of them of great interest. Her oeuvre is unusually finely wrought and cohesive, yet at the same time rich in variation. One can delight in her unique narrative technique, varying from book to book and developed independently, even though its roots stem from Faulkner and American writers from further south. The lasting impression is nevertheless sympathy, humanity, of the kind which is always based on profound humour.

Sexuality Summary The Breedlove family has moved from the rural south to urban Lorain, Ohio, and the displacement, in addition to grinding work conditions and poverty, contributes to the family's dysfunction. Told from the perspectives of the adolescent sisters, Claudia and Frieda MacTeer, Morrison's narrative weaves its way through the four seasons and traces the daughter's (Pecola Breedlove) descent into madness. Through flashback and temporal shifts, Morrison provides readers with the context and history behind the Breedloves' misery and Pecola's obsessive desire to have "the bluest eyes." Commentary This short novel counterbalances two points of view: one, the tragic consequences of racism (in the Breedlove family), and two, agency and resistance to that racism (in the MacTeer family). The story's focus, however, is on the Breedloves, and readers are immediately faced with the dissonance between the realities of the Breedloves'and especially Pecola'slives and the chapter headings that begin with excerpts from the white, middle-class Dick & Jane reader. Much as Pecola's world falls apart in the novel, the Dick & Jane passages, repeated three times, degenerate into formless, meaningless print: "seemothermotherisverynice."
