But my lonely is mine. Now your lonely is somebody else’s. Made by somebody else and handed to you. Ain’t that something? A secondhand lonely — Sula Biography - Criticism Toni Morrison was born Chloe Anthony Wofford, the second of four children, to George and Ramah Wofford on February 18, 1931. Both of her parents came from sharecropping families who had moved North in pursuit of better living conditions in the early 1900s, and her father’s family had faced a great deal of discrimination. Due to these bitter memories and the racial troubles he endured during his childhood, he maintained a strong distrust of whites throughout his lifetime. Morrison’s parents instilled the value of group loyalty, which they believed was essential to surviving the harsh realities of racial tension during that era. As an African-American in a town of immigrants, she grew up with the notion that the only place she could turn to for aid and reassurance would be within her own community in Lorain, Ohio. Here, Morrison had "an escape from stereotyped black settings neither plantation nor ghetto".

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Morrison, Toni, original name CHLOE ANTHONY WOFFORD (b. Feb. 18, 1931, Lorain, Ohio, U.S.), American writer noted for her examination of black experience (particularly black female experience) within the black community. She received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. Morrison grew up in the American Midwest. She attended Howard University (B.A., 1953) in Washington, D.C., and Cornell University (M.A., 1955) in New York. After teaching at Texas Southern University for two years, she taught at Howard from 1957 to 1964. In 1965 she became a fiction editor. From 1984 she taught writing at the State University of New York at Albany, leaving in 1989 to join the faculty of Princeton University. Morrison's first book, The Bluest Eye (1970), is a novel of initiation concerning a victimized adolescent black girl who is obsessed by white standards of beauty and longs to have blue eyes. In 1973 a second novel, Sula was published; it examines (among other issues) the dynamics of friendship and the expectations for conformity within the community. Song of Solomon (1977) is told by a male narrator in search of his identity; its publication brought Morrison to national attention.

In an afterword written more than two decades later, the author expressed her dissatisfaction with the book's language and structure: "It required a sophistication unavailable to me." Perhaps we can chalk up this verdict to modesty, or to the Nobel laureate's impossibly high standards of quality control. In any case, her debut is nothing if not sophisticated, in terms of both narrative ingenuity and rhetorical sweep. It also shows the young author drawing a bead on the subjects that would dominate much of her career: racial hatred, historical memory, and the dazzling or degrading power of language itself. Set in Lorain, Ohio, in 1941, The Bluest Eye is something of an ensemble piece. The...

She is the author of African-American literary classics "The Bluest Eye," 1970, "Sula," 1973, "Song of Solomon," 1977, "Tar Baby," 1981, "Beloved," 1987 and "Jazz," 1992. Disillusioned with marriage, as an escape, Morrison began to write fiction in the early '60s. "It was though I had nothing left but my imagination. I had no will, no judgment, no perspective , no power, no authority, no self; just this brutal sense of irony, melancholy and a trembling respect for words. I wrote like someone with a dirty habit. Secretly. Compulsively. Slyly." After divorcing her husband and resigning from Howard, Morrison moved with her sons to Syracuse, NY where she worked as a textbook editor for Random House. Battling her loneliness she once again sought escape in the fiction she began writing while teaching at Howard and developed the short story she had written there into a novel. The unfinished manuscript became her first publication, "The Bluest Eye," 1970. By 1977 she was the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for "The Song of Solomon." Over the next ten years, Morrison taught sporadically at The State University at Albany, Bard College, Yale and Rutgers University to supplement her literary income and in 1989 she became the Robert F. Goheen Professor of Humanities at Princeton University.
