In accordance with the capacious title, the novel by African-American Nobel laureate Toni Morrison is a true encyclopedia of love: from physical attraction to child adoration, from “almost hatred” to “almost deification”
In the XNUMXs, it was the hottest spot for non-whites: jazz was playing, champagne was flowing, and generous and handsome as a movie star, Bill Cosey, the owner of the most luxurious hotel, ruled his resort power with a firm hand.
In accordance with the capacious title, the novel by African-American Nobel laureate Toni Morrison is a true encyclopedia of love: from physical attraction to child adoration, from «almost hatred» to «almost deification.» Ruthlessly dissecting love, disassembling it into its component parts, Morrison achieves a striking effect: a deceptively monolithic feeling is crushed and stratified literally before our eyes, appearing before the reader in all its contradictory complexity.
