ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Toni Morrison, the Nobel laureate whose work explored black identity in America, died on Monday in New York at 88. She was the first African-American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for works which, as the Swedish Academy put it, gave “life to an essential aspect of American reality.” In her first novel, “The Bluest Eye,” she told the story “with a prose so precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry,” wrote John Leonard in his New York Times review. . Morrison authored 11 novels as well as children’s books and essay collections, among them celebrated works like “Song of Solomon” and the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Beloved,” widely considered her masterwork. As her writing makes clear, the past is just as strongly manifest in the bonds of family, community and race — bonds that let culture, identity and a sense of belonging be transmitted from parents to children to grandchildren. These generational links, her work unfailingly suggests, form the only salutary chains in human experience.
