Description

Milkman Deceased was created soon after a community eccentric hurled herself off a roof in an useless attempt at flight. For the remainder of his life-he, too, is likely to be attempting to travel. With this specific brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age tale as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel García Márquez. Morrison presents a whole cast of strivers and assassins, liars and seeresses, as she uses Milkman from his rustbelt town for the host to his family’s roots, the occupants of the completely recognized dark globe.
