Toni Morrison: A Writer's Work
- 1990 ----- color ----- 51 min ----- vhs
- (From A World of Ideas with Bill Moyers) Toni Morrison exists in two worlds: the visible world, bustling around her, and the world of her novels, whose characters tell about an interior reality hidden from the eyes of strangers. In her work she has transported millions of readers into the experience of being black in America and confronting the realities of race. In October 1993, Toni Morrison became the first African American and the first American woman in 55 years to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. In this interview with Bill Moyers, Ms. Morrison discusses the characters in her work, the people in her life, the power of love and how the invented world of fiction connects to life.
