Playing In The Dark

Toni Morrison achieves a great deal in this book. She is both a critic as well a creative writer in this book.

One of the greatest books I've ever read!

批評のための批評ではなく、書き手の人生経験etcに基づくほんものの批評眼を味わうことができました。 PoeやHemingwayを読んだときに感じるわだかまりも、ある意味すっきりしました。 短いのですぐに読める。余分なことが書いてない。

I was extremely fortunate to meet Toni Morrison some twenty years through Dr. Jonathan Lovell as we three were involved with the National Writing Project in San Jose, California. She always had something to say. She focused on attention on that "something" and not on herself, even though she was a well known writer who had received many high awards. You had to love her novels. To read them was to live them. The first of her nonfiction I have read is her recent Playing in the Dark. Her analysis, her perspective, her depth of thinking is what I would expect from her - brilliant. To read it is to learn. We used to exchange Christmas cards; but my many moves have now precluded that. So, it is good to hear from you again, Toni. Thank you again. - John Gibson

Sehr gut

il libro è in ottime condizioni ed è arrivato entro il tempo previsto. per quanto riguarda il contenuto, questo saggio scritto direttamente da Morrison mi è stato di vero aiuto per la stesura della mia tesi riguardante la letteratura afro-americana.
