Short description
In this compelling new study, Valerie Smith analyzes the fiction of Morrison in relation to her critical writings. Through a close reading of Morrison's works as they relate to her cultural and literary criticism, Smith reveals the links between Morrison's aesthetic practice and her political vision, arguing that Morrison's writing exposes the ways that language can fracture our sense of common humanity, yet binds readers into a sense of a shareable existence. Smith offers provocative insights and a refreshingly original contribution to the scholarship of one of the most important contemporary American writers.
