I read Beloved, which is really powerful stuff, and one called Jazz, both years ago. I got them out of the local library. I remember preferring the second at the time, because it was denser and more prosepoetry, stream-of-consciousness. I was young and enamoured of strangeness, perhaps, so I don't know how right I was. But God, yes, she could definitely write.
RIP Ms Morrison. Not a bad innings.
