Beloved: Pulitzer Prize Winner

Toni Morrison

It’s impossible to overstate the brilliance & greatness & goodness of Toni Morrison. It makes me queasy to think about a world without her in it. The news caught me 100 pages into my re-read of Beloved, and the remaining 200 pages will be even more brutal than usual.

Kandel’s Reductionism in Art and Brain Science “is a gem,” even if the central parallel between art & science adds very little. I’m halfway through & agree on both counts. Excited to read “How Art Works” as well. https://t.co/beDnKY19Dz
