Winner of the Nobel Prize, best-selling novelist Toni Morrison has displayed her strong, clear, original style in such memorable works as Paradise, Song of Solomon, and Jazz. In Tar Baby, she turns her keen eye and beautifully evocative voice to the way relationships move people across gender, race, and generations.
On a tropical island paradise, six people interact with each other in all the tender or hateful ways that human beings are capable of. Rich and poor, black and white, young and old, male and female, each has something to teach the others-and each has something to learn. Their acts of cruelty and love shine a light on all of the choices facing women and men in a black-and-white world.
Tar Baby is an unforgettable experience from one of the 20th century's most outstanding literary voices. Lynne Thigpen's richly nuanced narration suggests all the hidden secrets that lie beneath the smooth surface of life.
