Archives Big Dig Book Reviews Boston Capital ... Week in Photos Search the Globe: Today Yesterday MORRISON AWARDED NOBEL WRITER'S 'VISIONARY FORCE' CITED Author: By Gail Caldwell, Globe Staff Date: Friday, October 8, 1993 Page: Section: NATIONAL/FOREIGN Toni Morrison, the acclaimed novelist and critic, has been awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, the Swedish Academy announced yesterday. She is the first black American and the eighth woman to be cited for the prestigious award since its inception in 1901. In its citation, the Swedish Academy lauded Morrison for the "visionary force and poetic import" of her six novels, which include "Song of Solomon" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Beloved." The Academy further praised the 62-year-old professor of humanities at Princeton for the "epic power" of her fiction, for its "unerring ear for dialogue and richly expressive depictions of black America." Morrison is the 11th American writer to win the Nobel, which last went to an American in 1987 when the prize was awarded to Joseph Brodsky. Speaking through her publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, Morrison expressed gratitude that a black American had been named by the Academy. "I am outrageously happy," she said. "But what is most wonderful for me, personally, is to know that the prize at last has been awarded to an African-American. Winning as an American is very special but winning as a black American is a knockout." Born Chloe Anthony Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, in 1931, the daughter of Alabama sharecroppers who had migrated north, Morrison began her career of letters in academe and publishing. After teaching stints at Howard and Yale, she became an editor at Random House in 1967. Her first novel, "The Bluest Eye," was published in 1970, followed by "Sula" and "Song of Solomon," which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1978. "Tar Baby" followed in 1981; in 1983, Morrison resigned from Random House in order to write full-time. She spent five years working on the novel that would become ''Beloved," the story of an ex-slave, Sethe, and her children, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988.

Encyclopedia Morrison, Toni Morrison, Toni, The Bluest Eye (1970), is the story of a girl ruined by a racist society and its violence. Song of Solomon (1977; National Book Award) established her as one of America's leading novelists. It concerns a middle-class man who achieves self-knowledge through the discovery of his rural black heritage. Her later fiction includes Beloved (1987; Pulitzer), a powerful account of the legacy of slavery, and Jazz (1992), a tale of love and murder set in Harlem in the 1920s. Her other work includes the novels Sula Tar Baby (1981), and Paradise (1997) and the essay collections Race-ing Justice, En-Gendering Power and Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination (both: 1992). Morrison was awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature. See studies by B. W. Jones (1985) and A. I.

MAY 22, 1989 THE PAIN OF BEING BLACK TONI MORRISON, WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR HER GRITTY NOVEL BELOVED, SMOLDERS AT THE INEQUITIES THAT BLACKS AND WOMEN STILL FACE BY BONNIE ANGELO Q. In your contemporary novels you portray harsh confrontation between black and white. In Tar Baby a character says, ''White folks and black folks should not sit down and eat together or do any of those personal things in life.'' It seems hopeless if we can't bridge the abysses you see between sexes, classes, races. A. I feel personally sorrowful about black-white relations a lot of the time because black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war, to prevent other kinds of real conflagrations. If there were no black people here in this country, it would have been Balkanized. The immigrants would have torn each other's throats out, as they have done everywhere else. But in becoming an American, from Europe, what one has in common with that other immigrant is contempt for me it's nothing else but color. Wherever they were from, they would stand together. They could all say, ''I am not that.'' So in that sense, becoming an American is based on an attitude: an exclusion of me.

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Toni Morrison Toni Morrison was born Chloe Anthony Wofford in 1931 in Lorain, Ohio, the daughter of a shipyard welder and a religious woman who sang in the church choir. Her parents had moved to Ohio from the South, hoping to raise their children in an environment more friendly to blacks. Despite the move to the North, the Wofford household was a world steeped in the oral traditions of Southern blacks. The songs, stories, and women's gossip of Chloe Wofford's childhood undoubtedly influenced her later work; a great part of Toni Morrison's struggle has been to create a literary language of black America that draws strength from the oral art forms of that culture. She was an extremely gifted student, learning to read at an early age and doing well at her studies at an integrated school. Her parent's move succeeded in many respects: racial prejudice was less of a problem in Lorain, Ohio than it would have been in the South, and Chloe Wofford played with a racially diverse group of friends when she was young. Inevitably, however, she began to feel more of the effects of racial discrimination as she and her peers grew older. She graduated with honors in 1949 and went to Howard University in Washington D.C. At Howard, she majored in English and minored in classics, and was actively involved in theatre arts through the Howard University Players. She graduated from Howard in 1953 with a B.A. in English and a new name‹Toni Wofford, Toni being a shortened version of her middle name. She went on to receive her M.A. in English from Cornell in 1955.

FRtR Outlines American Literature American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation ... Authors Toni Morrison (1931- ) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation: Toni Morrison (1931- ) Index African-American novelist Toni Morrison was born in Ohio to a spiritually oriented family. She attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., and has worked as a senior editor in a major Washington publishing house and as a distinguished professor at various universities. Morrison's richly woven fiction has gained her international acclaim. In compelling, large-spirited novels, she treats the complex identities of black people in a universal manner. In her early work The Bluest Eye (1970), a strong-willed young black girl tells the story of Pecola Breedlove, who survives an abusive father. Pecola believes that her dark eyes have magically become blue, and that they will make her lovable. Morrison has said that she was creating her own sense of identity as a writer through this novel: "I was Pecola, Claudia, everybody." Sula (1973) describes the strong friendship of two women. Morrison paints African-American women as unique, fully individual characters rather than as stereotypes. Morrison's
