What does /lit/ think of Toni Morrison? I've had people tell me she's the best living author, but I haven't read her books yet

>> No.12908684

nigger, you can download a copy of beloved, read the first 50 pages then decide if you like it your own damn self.
Do you need help tying your own shoelaces, you fucking villager.

AND YOU DAMNWELL KNOW that /lit/ will dislike morrison because she is a) a woman, b) black, c) featured on oprah's bookclub, d) still alive, and e) she wrote a novel that your mom would like.

op is a nigger-faggot

>AND YOU DAMNWELL KNOW that /lit/ will dislike morrison because she's a really shitty writer and relies on convenient morons to deify her intersectional statuses, which is the only reason anyone sniffed one of her books, and for the love of god no one likes Beloved anyway because it's such a non-narrative, so trite and self-aggrandizing, revealing no real human nature or cost; the whole book is about wallowing, like a pig in its own shit, like anyone who honestly believes someone's gender or race determines their ability to write.

Read James Wheldon Johnson you fucking degenerate
