À propos de cet audio
The Bluest Eye, published in 1970, is the first novel written by Toni Morrison, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature.
It is the story of 11-year-old Pecola Breedlove--a black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others--who prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning and the tragedy of its fulfillment.

Nel and Sula's devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up to be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal—or does it end? Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows with life.

In Paradise - her first novel since she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature - Toni Morrison gives us a bravura performance. As the book begins deep in Oklahoma early one morning in 1976, nine men from Ruby (pop. 360), in defense of "the one all-black town worth the pain", assault the nearby Convent and the women in it. From the town's ancestral origins in 1890 to the fateful day of the assault, Paradise tells the story of a people ever mindful of the relationship between their spectacular history and a void.

In the winter of 1926, when everybody everywhere sees nothing but good things ahead, Joe Trace, middle-aged door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, shoots his teenage lover to death. At the funeral, Joe’s wife, Violet, attacks the girl’s corpse. This novel “transforms a familiar refrain of jilted love into a bold, sustaining time of self-knowledge and discovery. Its rhythms are infectious” (People).

Ce que les critiques en disent
1993, Nobel Prize in Literature, Winner
“A profoundly successful work of fiction. . . . Taut and understated, harsh in its detachment, sympathetic in its truth...it is an experience.” (The Detroit Free Press)
“So precise, so faithful to speech and so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry.” (The New York Times)
Featured Article: Toni Morrison Quotes on Life, Love, Freedom, and Oppression
Few creators have had the depth of knowledge, raw emotion, and resonating passion as the legendary late Toni Morrison. Not only was she the first African American woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but she wrote and inspired countless readers and listeners over her extensive careers.

Well done
This was a very emotionally difficult book to get through, challenging to accept, and powerful in imagery. Toni Morrison reads it well, but slowly. I think the slowness is good for comprehension, but if you listen when very tired it may make you more tired. Other than that, very well done. I recommend listening to the author's note at the end as well.

revolutionary book for me
I had no idea how early in life the message of worthlessness is imprinted in black children. Toni Morrison's writing is really prose and beautiful to hear in her own voice

It was good
The performance is excellent, the story compelling and the analysis is easily digestible. It is definitely worth listening to. For those who can't stomach things like sexual violence, stay away. but if you're able to pull threw from the few scenes, I recommend whole heatedly.

Thought provoking...well done narrative
How daunting a task it must have been to describe with such eloquence a very dark subject matter. The reader was led down a picturesque path of every scenario and an insight of every character. She succeeded in not casting judgment however the sadness still prevails for all the "Picolas" out there.

I did not like the book
I had to listen the audiobook at 1.25x speed.
Not sure whether the reader was monotonous or there was something wrong, but at 1x speed would had been impossible to finish it.
I could not gather what was the plot of the book until the very end when it was explained by the author in the "note from the author". It was really hatd to understand what the author wanted to tell.
