“The Bluest Eye” and #Fiction5
The New York Times’ new #Fiction5 Twitter hashtag got me thinking about the most affecting of my fictional favorites, Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye. It’s a heavy, intensely melancholic read, but it radically transformed how I conceive beauty, and the ways I look at others and myself. Read it and maybe you’ll also never look in the mirror the same way again.
(And here’s my #Fiction5, though I think Lorraine Adams is right in saying they probably change daily. What are yours?)
