This book is a revealing look at the life and work of Nobel
laureate Toni Morrison. Toni Morrison: A Biography looks at the
remarkable life of an essential American novelist, whose critically
acclaimed, bestselling books offer lively, powerful depictions of
black America. Toni Morrison follows the life of the woman born
Chloe Ardelia Wofford from her culturally rich childhood in
Lorrain, OH, through her spectacular rise as a novelist, educator,
and public intellectual. The book also serves as a basic
introduction to the literary influences that shaped Morrison's
writing, from the early novels to the breakout success of Song of
Solomon; from the overwhelming achievement of Beloved to her most
recent book, A Mercy. The book also examines Morrison's other
writing—criticism, essays, edited volumes, children's books—as
well as her academic career, her work as an editor at Random House,
and her political activism, most notably in the 2008 presidential
campaign.
