Description
This panel examines the contributions that Toni Morrison’s fiction and literary criticism has made to the conceptualization of American Literature, including broadening the scope of narrative perspectives and encouraging innovations in the form of the novel and short story. A broad range of analytical lenses (e.g. psychoanalytic, feminist, Cartesian) are applied to a cross section of Morrison’s work, from early novels like “Sula” to her last completed work, “God Help the Child.”
