Morrison's underrated classic

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2000

A rewarding, weighty, difficult book

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2000
The Bottom Line: A powerful novel with a very sharp focus. Among other things, a parody of romance novels on tropical isles.
Review: T*r Baby (This is not a typo. Incredibly, epinions censor will not permit the proper spelling of these words.) is Toni Morrison's fourth novel, coming after The Bluest Eye, Sula and Song of Solomon. It is a romance which satirizes the structure of...

Details
Paperback, Tar Baby
Ravishingly beautiful and emotionally incendiary, Tar Baby is Toni Morrison s reinvention of the love story. Jadine Childs is a black fashion model with a white patron, a white boyfriend, and a coat made out of ninety perfect sealskins. Son is a black fugitive who embodies everything she loathes and desires. As Morrison follows their affair, which plays out from the Caribbean to Manhattan and the deep South, she charts all the nuances of obligation and betrayal between blacks and whites, masters and servants, and men and women.
