Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Toni Morrison was the first black female novelist to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison’s great themes are racial prejudice and slavery; but her novels are rougher, more poetic, stranger and more ambivalent than this might imply. Yet some of her greatest imaginative strengths morph at times into limitations.A Mercy shows both her genius and its flaws.Mother is the root of the family.
