PLAYING IN THE DARK - TONI MORRISON KARTONIERT ...

An immensely persuasive work of literary criticism that opens a new chapter in the American
dialogue on race -- and promises to change the way we read American literature.   Morrison
shows how much the themes of freedom and individualism  manhood and innocence  depended on the
existence of a black population that was manifestly unfree --and that came to serve white
authors as embodiments of their own fears and desires. According to the Chicago Tribune  
Morrison "reimagines and remaps the possibility of America." Her brilliant discussions of the
"Africanist" presence in the fiction of Poe  Melville  Cather  and Hemingway leads to a
dramatic reappraisal of the essential characteristics of our literary tradition.   Written with
the artistic vision that has earned the Nobel Prize-winning author a pre-eminent place in
modern letters  Playing in the Dark is an invaluable read for avid Morrison admirers as well as
students  critics  and scholars of American literature.
