Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination by Toni Morrison

4.0

---

Really excellent, quick read. While the thoughts on the texts themselves (Hemingway, Poe, among some others) are really interested, what was more interesting for me was the way in which Morrison treats literature and criticism in general. While some are afraid to even address the existence of the writer, Morrsion does only that, as she studies what effect the experience of white American authors writing about Africanist personages has made on American literature in general.
