Upon her passing in 2019, The New York Times called Toni Morrison a “towering novelist of the Black Experience.” Margalit Fox, in her obituary, wrote that “[Morrison] explored Black identity in America…through luminous, incantatory prose resembling that of no other writer in English.”&Բ;
The Siegal Lifelong Learning Program will hold a course titled “How Gentle, How Clever, How Loving, How Human: An Exploration of Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon and Beloved.”&Բ;
Taught by writer, educator and cultural facilitator Michelle Quarles Smith, this remote course will be held Thursdays from July 16 to Aug. 6. It will offer a “deep dive” into the beautiful poetry, complex themes and unflinching politics of two of the most unique, widely read, and world-renowned novels by the Nobel Prize-winning author: Song of Solomon and Beloved.
