"A dense, complex novel that yields up its secrets one by one. As Morrison takes us deeper into the principal character's history and her memories, the horrifying circumstances of her baby's death start to make terrible sense. The narrative builds inexorably to its powerful conclusion. The defining novel of slavery in America, the one that all others will be measured by" (Alex Wilbur). The literary critic Patricia Storace has summed up Morrison's achievement brilliantly: "Toni Morrison is relighting the angles from which we view American history, changing the very color of its shadows, showing whites what they look like in black mirrors. To read her work is to witness something unprecedented, an invitation to a literature to become what it has claimed to be, a truly American literature" (Patricia Storace). Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1977, the Pulitzer Prize in 1988, and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. "Beloved" was selected by The New York Times panel of writers, editors, and critics as the single most important work of American fiction of the last 25 years. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century.
