RIP Toni Morrison

The world of earthly literature just got smaller again.  I remember Toni Morrison for Song of Solomon, Beloved, and The Bluest Eye.  The latter talked about a doll, and earned Morrison a place in my Bibliography of Doll and Toy Sources.

She was lyrical and ethereal, and reading her was to be transported into another world through her language.  She seemed timeless to me, and I will miss her.  I remember her through the words o Maxine Hong Kingston, whom I had pleasure to here when I taught at dinky little school on the banks of a great river.  May she rest in peace, may her books live on.
