In today’s class, we’ll discuss Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved.
As I’m sure you all know, Morrison is both a popular and a highly respected author, and it’s not easy to be both
. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an "African-American writer" doesn’t seem to do her justice. In many ways, she’s simply an American writer—and certainly one of our best.
Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988.
Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993
.
What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense of mysterious spirituality. We’ll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I’m particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book.
Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black or that she’s a woman? Which contributes more to her being
? What does Morrison tell us about both?
16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?
17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?
18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison’s novel Beloved?
选项
A、The Book Critics Circle Award.
B、The Nobel Prize for literature.
C、The Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
D、The National Book Award.
答案
B
解析
录音提到Morrison在1993年获得诺贝尔文学奖,故选B。录音讲Morrison的《宠儿》曾在A“全国书评奖”和D“国家图书奖”中获得提名,但这不是其1993年获得的成就;Morrison获得普利策小说奖是在1988年,不是1993年,故排除C。
