Macon learns about the tyranny of the white society from his friend, Guitar, though he is more concerned to escape the tyranny of his father. So while Guitar joins a terrorist group of poor blacks, Macon goes home to the South, lured by tales of buried family treasure. His journey leads to the discovery of something more valuable than gold: his past. Yet the truth about his origins and his true self is not fully revealed to Macon until he and Guitar meet once again in a powerful, and deadly, confrontation.' ***---Toni Morrison has written a brilliant prose tale that surveys nearly a century of American history as it impinges on a single family.' [New York Times Book Review] ***'Following up her "The Bluest Eye" and "Sula", Morrison has produced a novel about the black experience in America that is as extraordinary in its imaginative, dramatic feeling as Roots --- A spellbinding tale, superbly written.'

Description: Fine in a Fine dustjacket. Blue boards. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. 337pps. An excellent, collector's-quality copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has a faint touch of fading to the spine; there is, also, a 1/16" chip at the base of the front panel. The original price is intact. A highly presentable copy of the author's third novel. ".In this celebrated novel, Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison created a new way of rendering the contradictory nuances of black life in America. Its earthy poetic language and striking use of folklore and myth established Morrison as a major voice in contemporary fiction. 'Song of Solomon' begins with one of the most arresting scenes in our century's literature: a dreamlike tableau depicting a man poised on a roof, about to fly into the air, while cloth rose petals swirl above the snow-covered ground and, in the astonished crowd below, one woman sings as another enters premature labor. The child born of that labor, Macon (Milkman) Dead, will eventually come to discover, through his complicated progress to maturity, the meaning of the drama that marked his birth. Toni Morrison's novel is at once a romance of self-discovery, a retelling of the black experience in America that uncovers the inalienable poetry of that experience, and a family saga luminous in its depth, imaginative generosity, and universality. It is also a tribute to the ways in which, in the hands of a master, the ancient art of storytelling can be used to make the mysterious and invisible aspects of human life apparent, real, and firm to the touch."
