Archives Big Dig Book Reviews Boston Capital ... Week in Photos Search the Globe: Today Yesterday MORRISON AWARDED NOBEL WRITER'S 'VISIONARY FORCE' CITED Author: By Gail Caldwell, Globe Staff Date: Friday, October 8, 1993 Page: Section: NATIONAL/FOREIGN Toni Morrison, the acclaimed novelist and critic, has been awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, the Swedish Academy announced yesterday. She is the first black American and the eighth woman to be cited for the prestigious award since its inception in 1901. In its citation, the Swedish Academy lauded Morrison for the "visionary force and poetic import" of her six novels, which include "Song of Solomon" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Beloved." The Academy further praised the 62-year-old professor of humanities at Princeton for the "epic power" of her fiction, for its "unerring ear for dialogue and richly expressive depictions of black America." Morrison is the 11th American writer to win the Nobel, which last went to an American in 1987 when the prize was awarded to Joseph Brodsky. Speaking through her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, Morrison expressed gratitude that a black American had been named by the Academy. "I am outrageously happy," she said. "But what is most wonderful for me, personally, is to know that the prize at last has been awarded to an African-American. Winning as an American is very special but winning as a black American is a knockout." Born Chloe Anthony Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, in 1931, the daughter of Alabama sharecroppers who had migrated north, Morrison began her career of letters in academe and publishing. After teaching stints at Howard and Yale, she became an editor at Random House in 1967. Her first novel, "The Bluest Eye," was published in 1970, followed by "Sula" and "Song of Solomon," which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1978. "Tar Baby" followed in 1981; in 1983, Morrison resigned from Random House in order to write full-time. She spent five years working on the novel that would become ''Beloved," the story of an ex-slave, Sethe, and her children, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988.

Sexuality Summary The Breedlove family has moved from the rural south to urban Lorain, Ohio, and the displacement, in addition to grinding work conditions and poverty, contributes to the family's dysfunction. Told from the perspectives of the adolescent sisters, Claudia and Frieda MacTeer, Morrison's narrative weaves its way through the four seasons and traces the daughter's (Pecola Breedlove) descent into madness. Through flashback and temporal shifts, Morrison provides readers with the context and history behind the Breedloves' misery and Pecola's obsessive desire to have "the bluest eyes." Commentary This short novel counterbalances two points of view: one, the tragic consequences of racism (in the Breedlove family), and two, agency and resistance to that racism (in the MacTeer family). The story's focus, however, is on the Breedloves, and readers are immediately faced with the dissonance between the realities of the Breedloves'and especially Pecola'slives and the chapter headings that begin with excerpts from the white, middle-class Dick & Jane reader. Much as Pecola's world falls apart in the novel, the Dick & Jane passages, repeated three times, degenerate into formless, meaningless print: "seemothermotherisverynice."

Swedish Academy The Permanent Secretary Press release: Nobel Prize for Literature 1993 October 7, 1993 Toni Morrison "who, in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality." "My work requires me to think about how free I can be as an African-American woman writer in my genderized, sexualized, wholly racialized world". These are the words of this year's Nobel Laureate in Literature, the American writer Toni Morrison, in her book of essays "Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination" (1992). And she adds, "My project rises from delight, not disappointment..." Toni Morrison is 62 years old, and was born in Lorain, Ohio, in the United States. Her works comprise novels and essays. In her academic career she is a professor in the humanities at the University of Princeton , New Jersey. She has written six novels, each of them of great interest. Her oeuvre is unusually finely wrought and cohesive, yet at the same time rich in variation. One can delight in her unique narrative technique, varying from book to book and developed independently, even though its roots stem from Faulkner and American writers from further south. The lasting impression is nevertheless sympathy, humanity, of the kind which is always based on profound humour.

MAY 22, 1989 THE PAIN OF BEING BLACK TONI MORRISON, WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR HER GRITTY NOVEL BELOVED, SMOLDERS AT THE INEQUITIES THAT BLACKS AND WOMEN STILL FACE BY BONNIE ANGELO Q. In your contemporary novels you portray harsh confrontation between black and white. In Tar Baby a character says, ''White folks and black folks should not sit down and eat together or do any of those personal things in life.'' It seems hopeless if we can't bridge the abysses you see between sexes, classes, races. A. I feel personally sorrowful about black-white relations a lot of the time because black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war, to prevent other kinds of real conflagrations. If there were no black people here in this country, it would have been Balkanized. The immigrants would have torn each other's throats out, as they have done everywhere else. But in becoming an American, from Europe, what one has in common with that other immigrant is contempt for me it's nothing else but color. Wherever they were from, they would stand together. They could all say, ''I am not that.'' So in that sense, becoming an American is based on an attitude: an exclusion of me.

Jan. 19, 1998 Paradise Found The Nobel Prize changed Toni Morrison's life but not her art, as her new novel proves By PAUL GRAY After finishing her sixth novel, Jazz, published in 1992, Toni Morrison began casting about for the subject of her next book. Constant reading, a habit and passion she developed as a little girl, eventually led her to an obscure chapter in 19th century U.S. history, shortly after the Civil War: the westward emigration of former slaves into the sparsely settled territories of Oklahoma and beyond. Some found the promise of a new life in wide-open spaces, touted in numerous newspaper advertisements in the 1870s, irresistible, and a challenge besides.

FRtR Outlines American Literature American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation ... Authors Toni Morrison (1931- ) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation: Toni Morrison (1931- ) Index African-American novelist Toni Morrison was born in Ohio to a spiritually oriented family. She attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., and has worked as a senior editor in a major Washington publishing house and as a distinguished professor at various universities. Morrison's richly woven fiction has gained her international acclaim. In compelling, large-spirited novels, she treats the complex identities of black people in a universal manner. In her early work The Bluest Eye (1970), a strong-willed young black girl tells the story of Pecola Breedlove, who survives an abusive father. Pecola believes that her dark eyes have magically become blue, and that they will make her lovable. Morrison has said that she was creating her own sense of identity as a writer through this novel: "I was Pecola, Claudia, everybody." Sula (1973) describes the strong friendship of two women. Morrison paints African-American women as unique, fully individual characters rather than as stereotypes. Morrison's
