It certainly is, I couldn't put it down.

I didn't realise Toni Morrison was 88, always imagined her as young.

She was one great writer.

Later:  I never saw the film of 'Beloved', I believe Oprah Winfrey either produced or directed and acted in it.  I hope I can find it online, I loved the book so much - must have been twenty years or thereabouts, ago, that I read it.

(Around the same time I read Marsha Hunt's 'Joy'; I would like to see a television or Netflix film of that, surprised it hasn't been done. There's another, unrelated, film called 'Joy' that was out three or four years ago)

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
