found in tragic poetry of the past.... Morrison's voice transcends colour and creed and she has
become one of America's outstanding post-war writers' Guardian'She wrote about what was
difficult and what was necessary and in doing so she unearthed for a generation of people a
kind of redemption  a kind of relief' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie  New York TimesBY THE NOBEL
