Anyone read Toni Morrison's Beloved? What's the big deal? I'm 100 pages in, and I don't get it.

Didn’t we do this already?

Hi
/pol/ here. It was written by a black women. therefore, it is not very good and has probably been promoted by the jews and homosexuals to disempower the white race.

this is such a cookie cutter response that I'm inclined to believe it is satire, and yet /pol/tards really are this unintelligent that there's a possibility this post was unironic

Her free indirect is really precise and her metaphors have a way of speaking naturalistic about concepts like language and spirit.

I suggest Song of Solomon first because it's grounded in a person and makes fewer risks.

The bluest eye feels like a more coherent story. Beloved is more just about the lingering effects of slavery on the American blacks

I enjoyed the more experimental parts of the narrative, but most of all I just thought it did a really good job of discussing the aftermath of slavery. Even though it’s a very serious subject matter the premise made it fun and exciting a lot of the time, without diminishing the grimmer parts. And while it’s of course aimed at and dedicated to black people with a history of being enslaved, it felt meaningful in a broader sense too. You don’t have to be black to get something out of it.
I’m not sure how far in you are so I don’t want to spoil it, but I’d say stick with it.
