AMERICAN MASTERS: “TONI MORRISON: THE PIECES I AM”
June 23, 2020  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Toni Morrison, the first Black American writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (a feat she accomplished in 1993), is profiled in this new American Masters documentary. It spends as much time on her art and technique as it does her biographical background, and her opinions about both her craft and her audiences are amazingly resonant in this current undercurrent of social change. She says of her canon, “I didn’t want it to be a teaching tool for white people.” And yet, speaking as an appreciative white person, it works precisely as that… but as a lot more. Check local listings.

The the very next time I just read a blog, I hope that this doesnt disappoint me around this place. After all, It was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have some thing intriguing to mention. All I hear is usually a number of whining about something you could fix in the event you werent too busy in search of attention.
