Editorial Review

Product Description

In this clever riff on Aesop, Poppy feels guilty when he accidentally drives over Snake, and he decides to risk being bitten in order to free the sassy reptile. But smake wants more. This is a sly tale about who gets the last laugh.


We, the creators of Who's Got Game? were inspired by the wonder of Aesop's Fables -- their vitality, their endless demand for more interpretations. In our versions the original stories are opened up and their moralisitic endings reimagined; the victim might not lose; the timid gets a chance to become strong; the fool can gain insight; the powerful may lose their grip. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. More than a play on these beloved fables, Who's Got Game? is AESOP LIVE! ... Read more


84. Narrative Conventions and Race in the Novels of Toni Morrison

Editorial Review

Product Description
This study analyzes the relationship between race and genre in four of Toni Morrison's novels: The Bluest Eye, Tar Baby, Jazz, and Beloved. Heinert argues how Morrison's novels revise conventional generic forms such as bildungsroman, folktales, slave narratives, and the formal realism of the novel itself. This study goes beyond formalist analyses to show how these revisions expose the relationship between race, conventional generic forms, and the dominant culture. Morrison's revisions critique the conventional roles of African Americans as subjects of and in the genre of the novel, and (re)write roles which instead privilege their subjectivity.This study provides readers with new ways of understanding Morrison's novels. Whereas critics often fault Morrison for breaking with traditional forms and resisting resolution in her novels, this analysis show how Morrison's revisions shift the narrative truth of the novel from its representation in conventional forms to its interpretation by the readers, who are responsible for constructing their own resolution or version of narrative truth.These revisions expose how the dominant culture has privileged specific forms of narration; in turn, these forms privilege the values of the dominant culture. Morrison's novels attempt to undermine this privilege and rewrite the canon of American literature. ... Read more


85. African Spiritual Traditions in the Novels of Toni Morrison

Editorial Review

Book Description

"Addresses a real need: a scholarly and ritually informed reading of spirituality in the work of a major African American author. No other work catalogues so thoroughly the grounding of Morrison's work in African cosmogonies. Zauditu-Selassie's many readings of Ba Kongo and Yoruba spiritual presence in Morrison's work are incomparably detailed and generally convincing."--Keith Cartwright, University of North Florida

 

Toni Morrison herself has long urged for organic critical readings of her works. K. Zauditu-Selassie delves deeply into African spiritual traditions, clearly explaining the meanings of African cosmology and epistemology as manifest in Morrison's novels. The result is a comprehensive, tour-de-force critical investigation of such works as The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, Tar Baby, Paradise, Love, Beloved, and Jazz.

 

While others have studied the African spiritual ideas and values encoded in Morrison's work, African Spiritual Traditions in the Novels of Toni Morrison is the most comprehensive. Zauditu-Selassie explores a wide range of complex concepts, including African deities, ancestral ideas, spiritual archetypes, mythic trope, and lyrical prose representing African spiritual continuities.

 

Zauditu-Selassie is uniquely positioned to write this book, as she is not only a literary critic but also a practicing Obatala priest in the Yoruba spiritual tradition and a Mama Nganga in the Kongo spiritual system. She analyzes tensions between communal and individual values and moral codes as represented in Morrison's novels. She also uses interviews with and nonfiction written by Morrison to further build her critical paradigm.

Product Description
This collection of essays critically interrogates Toni Morrison's use of the Bible in her novels, examining the ways in which the author plays on the original text to raise issues of spirituality as it affects race, gender, and class. Ideal for courses on Morrison or on explorations of the intersection of religion and literature, this collection treats its topic with sophistication, considering "religion" in its broadest possible sense, and examining syncretic theologies as well as mainstream religions in its attempt to locate Morrison's work in a spiritual-theological nexus. ...

Product Description
Little Cloud drifts in the sky with the other clouds and has a life that any cloud would want. But Little Cloud isn't happy. She doesn't want to make thunder and rain like the other clouds. The earth below is so beautiful -- purple mountains, scarves of snow, silver-topped waves. She wants to live and play on the earth and be on her own.

How will Little Cloud ever come to understand that everything has its special place in the world, most especially her?

Inspired by the favorite Aesop story "The Bundle of Sticks," Toni Morrison and Slade Morrison tell a gentle and loving tale that illustrates that the whole is far mightier than any single part. Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor recipient Sean Qualls's shimmering paintings sparkle from the pages of this timeless fable. ... Read more

Toni Morrison wrote "Beloved".She won a Pulitzer Prize.If you're like me you'll expect a lot more than you'll get with this book.It almost made me throw up in my mouth a little bit

5-0 out of 5 stars A Marvel
Little Cloud and Lady Wind is a lovely, lovely book.The writing is simple and poetic.The illustrations are clear and gorgeous.I witnessed the book being read to a group of small children.They were riveted by the text.When the reader showed them the pictures, the children responded with oohs and ahs.I highly recommend Little Cloud and Lady Wind!

5-0 out of 5 stars visual feast
The deeply-imagined illustrations of Sean Qualls are what make this book fantastic and magical.With great visual subtlety and grace the images enhance Toni Morrison's fable inspired by Aesop.Qualls has the gift for seeing how to give shape and volume to invisible elements--and he stirs a place of beauty in the imagination of readers lucky enough to spend time with these images.I keep the book on my coffee table; its sumptuous art amazes guests--who linger to study its many layered technique and rich monochromatic color.

5-0 out of 5 stars This heartwarming, sweeping tale assures young children that we all have a special place in the world!
The clouds gathered together in the sky to display their strength and unity, but Little Cloud didn't want to join in.She poof!. . .went off by herself, not "wanting to blend into a group and lose her freedom, not wanting to frighten the earth" with peals of thunder and claps of lightning.She drifted over the mountain tops and flitted like the butterfly over the colorful flowers.The landscape was beautiful but she was somehow dissatisfied with her life and began to dream of other things. Little Cloud wanted to touch the earth, to "skip in the snow," dance in the waves and rest her head in the flowers.

When the night fell, she continued to dream until someone gently prodded her awake.Whooosh!Whooosh!Little Cloud was soon looking into the eyes of Lady Wind, who quickly gathered her into her arms and "raced across the sky."They encountered a fierce storm, but she warned Little Cloud not to be afraid.Through the night and in between the storms they "dodged knives of lightning, bumped into mountaintops poking through the dark, jumped over ocean waves reaching up to grab them."Little Cloud, exhausted from fear, finally fell asleep in Lady Wind's arms.Was there a lesson that Lady Wind had to teach her little protégé to show her how she would fit in with the world?

This heartwarming, sweeping tale assures young children that we all have a special place in the world.Inspired by Aesop's fable, "The Bundle of Sticks," this story has a nice, subtle way of telling the young child that he or she is very special even if they don't quit fit in with the rest of the crowd and march to their own drummer.The beautifully rendered illustrations pull the story along very nicely.It somehow had a nice nostalgic feel to it that I felt very drawn to.If you want a touching tale that has a "lesson" to impart for your circle or story time, this would be the perfect choice! ...

Editorial Review

Product Description

On first consideration, Nobel prize winning African-American author Toni Morrison would seem to have little in common with Virginia Woolf, the British writer who challenged Victorian concepts of womanhood. But Woolf's achievement and influence have been enduring, so much so that Morrison wrote her masters thesis on Woolf and William Faulkner. In that thesis, Morrison gives special attention to issues of isolation, and she notes that for Woolf, isolation brought a sense of freedom that the attached could never comprehend. This book examines the literary relationship between Woolf and Morrison.

In her own novels, Morrison redefined Woolf's concept of isolation in terms of American racism. While Morrison's female characters are clearly outsiders, they can nevertheless experience a sense of community that Woolf's characters cannot. Woolf's female characters, on the other hand, are often alienated because of their repressed erotic longing for women. Both Morrison and Woolf consider the severe obstacles the female artist must encounter and overcome before she can create art. This volume looks at the similarities that link Morrison and Woolf together despite their racial, ethnic, national, and historical differences, and it examines how differing structures of domination define their art.
