Overview

Morrison's style rivets the reader...her synaesthetic, often rhythmic, even chanting prose recalls both Faulkner and Emily Dickinson * The Times Literary Supplement * The Bluest Eye is a fine book, a lament for all starved and stunted children everywhere * Daily Telegraph * I imagine if our greatest American novelist, William Faulkner, were alive today he would herald Toni Morrison's emergence as a kindred spirit... Discovering a writer like Toni Morrison is the rarest of pleasures * Washington Post * So charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry * New York Times * Not only a story but an awe-inspiring poem that confronts beauty itself. * Guardian *.
