Passing of Toni Morrison
I'm interested to see if folks here have anything to say about the death of American novelist and Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, at 88. I'm not particularly knowledgable about her or her work but admired the novels I read a long time ago very much, especially The Bluest Eye and Beloved.
Others here have expressed admiration for her, I believe, and I recall at least one radically negative opinion being aired, too.
The popular press is saying things like "towering figure", and I'm wondering how members of this community assess her legacy and influence.
Any comments?
