The Identifying Fictions of Toni Morrison - Modernist Authenticity and Postmodern Blackness (Paperback)

Now available in a new paperback edition, The Identifying Fictions of Toni Morrison examines Morrison's hugely influential fiction, criticism, and interviews for traces of her struggle to construct a useable identity as an African American woman novelist. The only book to explore autobiographical tendencies in Morrison's fiction, Duvall's study:
-Provides in-depth chapters on Morrison's most frequently taught novels
-Uses Morrison's own words from interviews and essays as an important context for understanding her fiction
-Traces Morrison's critical engagement with modernist writers, particularly William Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, and Ralph Ellison
In a new Afterword, Duvall discusses Morrison's two most recent novels, Love and A Mercy, in the context of the author's recent disclosures about her Catholicism.
