"Along with the idea of romantic love, she was introduced to another— physical beauty. Probably the most destructive ideas in the history of human thought. Both originated in envy, thrived in insecurity, and ended in disillusion."

Desgarradora, melancólica, un bofetón de crudeza, pero no pierde la dulzura, aunque no necesariamente para bien. Hay dulzura porque la protagonista es una niña y la narradora, también, pero la vida de Pecola, particularmente, no tiene nada de dulce… es una pena constante ❤️🩹
Esta edición tiene un prólogo y epílogo con un desmenuce de las primeras páginas del libro de la misma Toni Morrison, donde explica las decisiones narrativas que tomó, con las que quedó satisfecha y con las que no. Es como una ventanita a su mente y 🤩
Realmente, una genia. Libro increíble 💯
