toni morrison’s writing style can take a second to get used too, and occasionally came at the expense of understanding certain events, but i don’t see how a book like this could’ve been written any other way. 

certain authors would benefit greatly from reading toni’s work, and experiencing the ways she’s delved into the lives of black people.
