What The Reviewers Say
Rave
The Wall Street Journal
Comprises the rough, incomplete outlines for Morrison’s lectures, with bracketed page citations for the novels under discussion ... Exacting, appreciative.
Rave
Chicago Review of Books
An archival volume of her teachings ... Full of vitality ... What a dream it would have been to have had the privilege to be in Morrison’s classroom.
