Book Discussion: Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
Join us for a discussion of the classic novel Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.
Toni Morrison, the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner, transfigures the coming-of-age story with this brilliantly imagined novel. Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he, too, will be trying to fly. As Morrison follows Milkman from his rustbelt city to the place of his family’s origins, she introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses, liars and assassins, the myriad inhabitants of a fully realized Black world.
This in-person book club meeting at the Marcy library (617 Dekalb Ave) requires registration.
