In this startling group memoir, four friends-black and white, gay
and straight, immigrant and American-born-use Toni Morrison's
novels as a springboard for intimate and revealing conversations
about the problems of everyday racism and living whole in times of
uncertainty. Tackling everything from first love and Soul Train to
police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement, the authors
take up what it means to read challenging literature
collaboratively and to learn in public as an act of individual
reckoning and social resistance. Framing their book club around
collective secrets, the group bears witness to how Morrison's works
and words can propel us forward while we sit with uncomfortable
questions about race, gender, and identity. How do we make space
for black vulnerability in the face of white supremacy and
internalized self-loathing? How do historical novels speak to us
now about the delicate seams that hold black minds and bodies
together? This slim and brilliant confessional offers a radical
vision for book clubs as sites of self-discovery and communal
healing. The Toni Morrison Book Club insists that we find ourselves
in fiction and think of Morrison as a spiritual guide to our most
difficult thoughts and ideas about American literature and life.
