Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison

4.0

---

I am a tremendous Toni Morrison fan and have taught The Bluest Eye--with great success--many times. I am finally reading two of her most acclaimed novels, Song of Solomon and Sula. Solomon is a brilliant book. My background in African American folklore was a tremendous boon in understanding how intricately Morrison wove this story together--how fluidly she mixes sources as varied as the Bible and Hansel and Gretel and All God's Chillun' Have Wings without ever sacrificing character or plot. I'll be thinking about this one for some time.
