Title: Playing in the Dark Author: Toni Morrison Narrator: Bahni Turpin Format: mp3 Length: 3 hrs and 9 mins Release date: 05-05-20 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 110 ratings Genres: Black & African American Publisher's Summary: Morrison shows how much the themes of freedom and individualism, manhood and innocence, depended on the existence of a black population that was manifestly unfree--and that came to serve white authors as embodiments of their own fears and desires. According to the Chicago Tribune, Morrison "reimagines and remaps the possibility of America." Her brilliant discussions of the "Africanist" presence in the fiction of Poe, Melville, Cather, and Hemingway leads to a dramatic reappraisal of the essential characteristics of our literary tradition.
