Tar Baby by Toni Morrison
Tar Baby by Toni Morrison
A first edition of Pulitzer Prize-winning Toni Morrison’s fourth novel Tar Baby. Arguably (as in we argue it) America’s greatest and most significant novelist. Morrison documented the lives of Black Americans with great incision and depth, helping build a far more accurate picture of America and its people. In 1993, Morrison became the first Black woman to receive the Nobel Laureate for Literature, awarded for her “novels characterised by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality.”
