what does /lit/ think of Beloved? Is it worthy of the praise?

It's ok. Some of the ideas are kind of hamfisted imo and I have a feeling that a lot of people on this board will think it's a "white guilt" book or something like that. Other than that it's fine, worth giving some of your time to read and comprehend. At least that's what I thought

SoS is the /lit/ approved novel but nobody really talks about it because she's a black woman so Morrison threads invariably turn to shit

The book is hardly "white guilt" and I say that as a conservative.
I didn't love it, but it was interesting nonetheless. It also helps to know the historical background around the characters.

Morrison is cool. I liked The Bluest Eye more than Beloved though. She's kinda similar to Faulkner, which is a huge plus for me. Surprised you didn't like the prose, I thought that was the best thing about it.

Is Song of Solomon her most experimental? I was thinking of reading it.
