- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The fact that the first African-American to win the Nobel Prize for literature is reading this amzazing work on the pleasures of intellectual stimulation and growth through reading is really the only qualification it needs to command the highest recommendations. Nevertheless, by moving beyond the sense of awe that Toni Morrison tends to inspire just by being Toni Morrison, one is able to delve into the wonders of her own dancing mind as revealed in this thrilling audio book.Aberjhaniauthor of "Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance""The Wisdom of W.E.B.
