Книга The Bluest Eye

Любимый роман Тони Моррисон на сегодняшний день! Трагическая история, неимоверный язык и стиль, множество художественных символов которые так интересно разгадывать. Не смотря на то, что читатель с первой страницы уже знает как закончится книга, просто невозможно оторваться.

This is my favorite Toni Morrison novel so far. The story is absolutely tragic, and although the reader learns what's going to happen to the main characters on the first page, it is still impossible to put down. The style is very similar to other Morrison novels, with beautiful imagery and a plethora of symbols that are so fun to decode, but arguably more innovative, especially in the prologue (I am still wondering about the significance of blending words). Morrison's social critique mainly revolves around eurocentric beauty standards, though of course this book is about so much more than that. This is one of those novels you can read several times and still keep getting something new out of it, no wonder Morrison won a Nobel Prize!
