Toni Morrison is obviously a literary genius, but this shirt story was such an inquisitive read from start to finish, the most fascinating element being that Morrison never names which character is which race. I really enjoyed Zadie Smith’s introduction, which felt like a critical essay examining this choice of Morrison’s, and it certainly aided in my reading of the story.
