How come /lit/ never talks about this book? It's one of the best novels of the past centuries?
>>8158358
this is b8 right?
if not- it's because it's written by a black woman and those two words put together cause the sweaty mutants that populate this site to both rage impotently and masturbate furiously
>>8158358
Because it's the obvious choice for pseuds and /lit/ rightly recognizes Song of Solomon as her true masterpiece.

>author is non-white
>author is non-male
Yeah, they don't belong here.

That's kinda what I assumed. Quite a shame, she is a worthy successor of Faulkner.
>>8158391
What an odd comparison
>>8158366
this. Song of Solomon and Jazz are her only best novels
Take a wild guess
>>8158391
I have only read Beloved, but I thought her style and setting are similar to Faulkner.

> patronizing /lit/
Maybe you should lurk more. Do you know how many threads we've had about Song of Solomon's ending? It's practically a meme here.
Suffice it to say your preference for Beloved betrays your plebe-status.
>>8158397
it's not, really. she is often grouped with faulkner and/or gabriel garcia marquez
PLEASE kill yourself. I'm not joking. I'm at church right now, kneeling in the pews, begging and pleading with God Almighty above for you to kill yourself.
song of solomon is the worst book i've ever read
morrison is garbage
this is completely independent of any /pol/ posting or anything. i hate /pol/ but morrison is a disgrace on literature.
>>8158425
it's a women, what do you expect? they can't think and don't know about the deep meaning of life or true love
>>8158437
what on earth are you blabbering on about
>>8158366
i liked beloved, but fucking hated song of solomon. Guitar? who the fuck names a character fucking Guitar?

*tips safe middle-brow pick because muh NY Times*
Read it again.
It's an okay book and the memories of slavery hit hella hard, but the ending is a big "what" and felt kinda sloppy.
The chapter that goes theough the 3 female characters minds was real great tho
>>8158442
I named my character Guitar after reading Song of Solomon.
Honestly, I take offense. Fuck you.
>>8158437
>thinking you need to read women or nonwhites to know whether a book is good or bad
You're brainwashed
HAROLD BLOOM: Beloved is not so great, song of solomon is her masterpiece
/LIT/: ...is her masterpiece, in my personal opinion.
>>8158445
hahaha you're shit and your book is shit
kill yourself
>>8158358
>African American authors writing about race and shared trauma
JUST
reminder that this is the only /lit/ approved black author
>>8158568
>reading for plot
