desertcart.com: Home (Vintage International): 9780307740915: Morrison, Toni: Books

Review: Powerful and Unforgettable - A new novel from Toni Morrison is an event to relish. With a literary career spanning into its fifth decade, she continues to produce work as powerful and unforgettable as any fiction published in this day and age. In her most slender work of fiction to date, Home lacks none of the storytelling ingenuity and character depth that are hallmarks of every one of her works. A veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money returns to the states fortunate enough to have escaped physical wounds. More distressingly, though, he suffers from flashback moments of nightmarish anguish over the atrocities he committed as a soldier. He is also distressed over any thought of returning to his god-forsaken hometown of Lotus, Georgia. When a letter arrives from a resident of his childhood town telling him that his younger sister, Ycidra ("Cee"), has fallen victim to a crime, Frank bolts back to the place he despises in order to save her. The central story of Frank and Cee is compelling and tender, a recounting of life's struggle to survive and find ways to forgive and move on. Morrison packs surprises and shocks, and the ending is tremendously arresting, sad, and beautiful in its power to explore how any transgression can be faced with dignity and how solace can be found in a redeeming act of grace. The main plot is supplemented with side stories, full of their own intrigue. Even in such a short novel like Home, Morrison's range of narrative is extraordinary, how everything feels so authentic and every character, no matter how minor, feels so real. Her novels are never one straightforward story; they are canvases of insight, interwoven tableaus of places and people. Every detail is fascinating, her prose vibrant and fresh, reminding us how incredibly brilliant Toni Morrison is. In its brevity, Home is another testament that with each work Toni Morrison breaks new ground as an artist and re-establishes the measure of what every writer should do: challenge their self and continue to produce work that bristles with emotion, packs a punch, and evokes admiration.
Review: Morrison's Most Approachable Novel & One of her Best - I've read six Toni Morrison novels and this is by far her most approachable and "easiest" read. She has always been a master of prose, turning about some of the most eloquent sentences in the English language. "Home" is no exception exemplified by one of my favorite sentences in the novel :"From the windows, through the fur of snow, the landscape became more melancholy when the sun successfully brightened the quiet trees, unable to speak without their leaves". At the same time, Morrison often challenges the reader with her less than straight-forward style. I've often found myself reading pages several times to ensure I really understood both the substance and context of what is written. In most cases, the effort is well worth it as the larger themes and beauty of the language makes the investment worthwhile. "Home" doesn't follow the usual Morrison conventions but doesn't suffer at all from the simpler and more direct storytelling. The novel centers around Frank Money, African-American veteran of the Korean War (although Morrison doesn't directly note characters race, it is up to the discerning reader to decipher through context), returning home from the war after losing his two best friends in battle. Frank suffers from what today would be diagnosed as PTSD, struggling to come to grips with the impact of war on his psyche, often resorting to alcohol to numb the effects. Frank eventually makes his way to back to the small Georgia town he grew up in and never thought he'd return to help his sister Cee. Morrison covers a lot of ground and themes in a relatively spare set of pages -- a largely forgotten American conflict, the Jim Crow South right on the precipice of the Civil Rights movement, the lingering mental toll on veterans before conditions like PTSD were examined and even treated, unethical medicine like eugenics, conjuring memories of experiments conducted on African-Americans, just to name a few. Tucked inside these broader societal themes are those of family and home, the impact of childhood memories and the deeper call of a need by a family member that brings those back together. I've felt that Toni Morrison wasn't on top of her extraordinarily high game the last several novels, but "Home" marks a return to the work of a master. This is a novel that only someone as gifted and talented as Ms. Morrison could achieve and is worthy the highest of accolades.
