With a foreword by Zadie Smith.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"She was our conscience. Our seer. Our truthteller.\" —Oprah Winfrey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis inspirational book juxtaposes quotations, one to a page, drawn from Toni Morrison's entire body of work, both fiction and nonfiction—from The Bluest Eye to God Help the Child, from Playing in the Dark to The Source of Self-Regard—to tell a story of self-actualization. It aims to evoke the totality of Toni Morrison's literary vision.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIts compelling sequence of flashes of revelation—stunning for their linguistic originality, keenness of psychological observation, and philosophical profundity—addresses issues of abiding interest in Morrison's work: the reach of language for the ineffable; transcendence through imagination; the self and its discontents; the vicissitudes of love; the whirligig of memory; the singular power of women; the original American sin of slavery; the bankruptcy of racial oppression; the complex humanity and art of black people. The Measure of Our Lives brims with elegance of style and mind and moral authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525659297\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.8 x 5.2 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50234509721904,"sku":"Trans_9780525659297","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71lvJbStzwL.jpg?v=1761037317","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-measure-of-our-lives-a-gathering-of-wisdom","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
