书籍简介

在这本范围广泛的发人深省的访谈集里，包括她的第1次和最后一次访谈，被巴拉克·奥巴马称为 "国宝 "的托尼·莫里森与各种各样的人交谈，从夏莱恩·亨特·高尔和比尔·莫耶斯到不知名的博客。她不仅详细介绍了她的写作生活和她的影响，而且还介绍了她作为教师和出版商的其他职业，以及她的家庭的扣人心弦的故事。事实上，莫里森在这里透露，她获得诺贝尔奖的小说，如《亲爱的》和《所罗门之歌》，都是源于她的家庭故事，如她的曾祖母出生为奴隶，或她的父亲逃离南方的私刑暴徒。莫里森在这里编织了另一个迷人的、鼓舞人心的叙事，那就是她自己。

In this wide-ranging collection of thought-provoking interviews including her first and last Toni Morrison, whom Barrack Obama called a 'national treasure', talks with a wide variety of people, from Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Bill Moyers to obscure bloggers. She details not only her writing life and her influences, but also her other careers as a teacher and as a publisher, as well as the gripping story of her family. In fact, Morrison reveals here that her Nobel Prize-winning novels, such as Beloved and Song of Solomon, were born out of her family's stories such as those of her great-grandmother, born a slave, or her father, escaping the lynch mobs of the South. Morrison hereby weaves yet another fascinating and inspiring narrative that of herself.
