She was a magician with language, who understood the power of words.” - Oprah Winfrey\u003cbr\u003eA vital non-fiction collection from one of the most celebrated and revered American writers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning four decades, these essays, speeches and meditations interrogate the world around us. They are concerned with race, gender and globalisation. The sweep of American history and the current state of politics. The duty of the press and the role of the artist. Throughout Mouth Full of Blood our search for truth, moral integrity and expertise is met by Toni Morrison with controlled anger, elegance and literary excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe collection is structured in three parts and these are heart-stoppingly introduced by a prayer for the dead of 9\/11, a meditation on Martin Luther King and a eulogy for James Baldwin. Morrison’s Nobel lecture, on the power of language, is accompanied by lectures to Amnesty International and the Newspaper Association of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe speaks to graduating students and visitors to both the Louvre and America’s Black Holocaust Museum. She revisitsThe Bluest Eye, Sula and Beloved; reassessing the novels that have become touchstones for generations of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMouth Full of Blood is a powerful, erudite and essential gathering of ideas that speaks to us all. It celebrates Morrison’s extraordinary contribution to the literary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Toni+Morrison\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eToni Morrison\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Toni Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377563484323,"sku":"9781529110883","price":270.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781529110883_f75fe777-21d7-477d-a5b5-cabd59af432c.jpg?v=1776563949","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781529110883","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
