Toni Morrison Day Book Discussion: Beloved In-Person
February 18 is Toni Morrison Day, honoring the Nobel Prize-winning author's birthday, with Ohio officially designating it as a statewide observance. This year, we are also kicking off a statewide, yearlong celebration of her life, legacy and work. Join us to discuss Morrison's novel Beloved. Set in nineteenth-century Cincinnati during the Reconstruction Era (with flashbacks to the Era of Slavery), this Pulitzer Prize-winning historical novel employs elements of folklore and the supernatural to embody the psychological traumas carried by former slaves. The story centers on a household of people who share connections either by blood or by a shared former plantation home. A haunting forces the main characters to come to terms with their repressed emotional wounds, either discovering new strength or succumbing to unhealed traumas.
