On August 6, 2019, the great American writer Toni Morrison passed away at the age of 88. Her extraordinary achievements in fiction – a Nobel Prize in Literature and multiple best-selling novels exploring black identity in America – established a new benchmark not only in American arts and letters, but in literature worldwide.
Alan Flurry spoke with UGA professor of English Barbara McCaskill by phone the day of Morrison’s passing for an article, and now the two expand on that conversation in this episode of the Unscripted podcast.
