Ep. 382 God Help the Child by Toni Morrison — The Stacks Book Club (Dana A. Williams)

It’s The Stacks Book Club Day, and we're discussing Toni Morrison's God Help the Child with Dana A. Williams, author of Toni at Random. Together, we talk about the themes that show up in God Help the Child that have echoes from Morrison's earlier work—generational trauma and racialized beauty. We also discuss why Toni Morrison wanted to write a contemporary novel, the great names in the book, and who we would cast in the film. There are spoilers on this episode. Be sure to listen to the end of today’s episode to find out what our August book club pick will be.
