Toni Morrison: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations (The Last Interview Series)

In this wide-raning collectin of thought-provoking interviews  -- including her first and last -- Tonie Morrison (whom President Barack Obama called a "national treasure") details not only her writing life, but also her other careers as a teacher, and as a publisher, as well as the gripping story of her family. In fact, Morrson reveals here that her Nobel Prize-winning novels, such as Beloved and Song of Solomon were born out of her family's stories -- such as those of her great-grandmother, born a slave, or her father, escaping the lynch mobs of the South. With an introduction by her close friend, poet Nikki Giovani, Morrison hereby weaves yet another fascinating and inspiring narrative -- that of herself.
