Presents critical essays on Toni Morrison's "Sula" and includes a chronology, a bibliography, and an introduction by critic Harold Bloom.
First published in 1974, this novel by a Nobel Prize-winner is set in a small town community in Ohio. Two black girls share their secrets and girlhood dreams until Sula escapes to a vagrant city life for ten years.
In clear, dark, resonant language, Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison brilliantly evokes not only a bond between two lives, but the harsh, loveless, ultimately mad world in which that bond is destroyed, the world of the Bottom and its people.
