“Deeply perceptive. . . . Return[s] risk and mischief to the contemporary American novel.” —John Irving, The New York Times Book Review “Toni Morrison has made herself into the D. H. Lawrence of the black psyche, transforming individuals into forces, idiosyncrasy into inevitability.” —New York “Arresting images, fierce intelligence, poetic language . . . One becomes entranced by Toni Morrison’s story.” —The Washington Post “Wrenchingly good. A terrific book.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer “Hypnotic, stunningly alive.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune “That rare commodity, a truly public novel. . . . Morrison’s genius lies in her uncanny ability to immerse you totally in the world she creates.” —Newsweek “Powerful. . . . A stunning performance. . . . Morrison is one of the most exciting living American writers.” —Kansas City Star “It takes one to the sheer edge of human relationships.” —Vogue “Wise, beautiful, astonishing, absolutely breathtaking.” —St. Louis Globe-Democrat “Reminds us again that Toni Morrison is one of the finest writers in America today.” —Louisville Courier-Journal “Tar Baby is stupendous. Morrison is a writer of amazing skill.” —Roanoke Times & World “Its scope is grand and the interplay complex. But Morrison has the control of a skilled choreographer, with a careful eye pinned on pacing, suspense, grace, and frenzy. . . . She has an awesome lyric flair.” —The Charlotte Observer From the Trade Paperback edition.
