Sula
(Toni Morrison)
The fear of the ''unexpectedness of death'' is the running subtheme of this dramatic story of black female cameraderie written by Noble prize winner Toni Morrison. In almost every chapter a brutal and gruesome ''unexpected'' death occurs. The lines between good and evil are blurry and , at times, indistinct as characters who are portrayed as evil turn out not to be and the ''good'' people in the story are found to be not so good. Even the ''crazy'' Shadrack is apparrently not crazy enough to participate in the mass suicide that occurs at the story''s climax. Nothing is safe from Morrison biting satire and sharp wit as she weaves this stunning tale full of lush, authentic details and the heatbreaking realities of life for the American Negro in the early 1900''s.
