What am I in for? Is it any good like all the acclaim says?
Bait
>heh! I know! I'll start a thread about Beloved and 4chinz will get mad! And then I'll laugh and feel clever
>>25175035It's actually pretty good. Not, like, great, but definitely better than anything coming out these days.
>>25175102>>25175096No I'm genuuinely asking. If 4chan hates it, why?
>>25175096Morrison has always struck me as the quintessential intersectional lower class, black woman muse who was elevated to prominence by white academic elites because she is seen as representing the naive authentic voice of her demographic. I haven't read Beloved though so I don't know if it's better than her other work.
aw HELL nahyall did NOT pick a token black women as yalls thread when they is big dick black MEN write better than this bitch
>>25175035it's pretty good
>>25175035Extremely overrated. Song of Solomon was better.
>>25175387I wouldn't say it's extremely overrated, but Song of Solomon is better. Sula underrated imo. >>25175230Some truth to this (rose pretty fast, later work isn't anywhere near as good) but undersells her, like it or not Morrison is extremely good. Not sure if Nobel-worthy but neither was Bob Dylan or Sinclair Lewis. Song of Solomon > Beloved > Paradise > Sula is my take>>25175190>why does 4chan hate Morrison Don't be dense
>>25175522I get she's black and it's about slaves, but /lit/ actually rises above racism a lot and critiques based on merit. Or even if it is racist, usually /lit/ will provide a pretty cogent argument which doesn't rely on race and addresses the content/quality of the writing. It's always more than 'black woman wrote it', which I gather is what you're alluding to.
>>25175541We must be seeing different threads, /lit/ is pretty bad about this. Morrison is excellent though
>>25175035You got me, I was going to go on a long racist screed and say a whole bunch of slurs, all while making allusions to the A-man, Jewish conspiracies, Sam Hyde, and my own legendary basedness. But you know what? I'm not doing that today, I'm too tired and a black person held the door open for me at the grocery store yesterday.
