Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am
Sponsored by Placer Independent Resource Services
Toni Morrison leads an assembly of her peers, critics, and colleagues on an exploration of race, history, the United States, and the human condition. After a stint as an editor early in her career, she understood the publishing industry better than the ordinary writer—but she refused to be defined by the establishment. She wrote her books from a vital, under-represented point of view. Throughout, Morrison is effortlessly graceful, insightful, and candid, making this intimate, comprehensive portrait of her life and works an exploration of what it means to be a writer whose stories are so deeply intertwined with often-unrealized national truths.
