Mellow Mike on Toni Morrison:
I first read Toni Morrison on my continuing quest to get away from buppie events that had become Oh so familiar. Not that I didn't enjoy them, it was that when we sat to talk about books, everybody complained about The Women of Brewster Place, The Color Purple and Disappearing Acts.

What a bore. But somewhere out there was Toni Morrison and Beloved. A big, fat complicated book which was not about to be turned into a Steven Spielberg movie. Obviously, this was before we all knew Steve-o had Schindler within. At any rate, I decided to get the book, which I had been warned was incredibly complex. So much the better.
