I have always wanted to develop a way of writing that was irrevocably
black. I don't have the resources of a musician but I
thought that if it was truly black literature, it would not be
black because Iwas, it would notevenbe black because of
its subject matter. It would be something
intrinsic, indigenous, something in the way it was put
togetherthe sentences, the structure, texture and toneso that
anyone who read it would realize.
Quoted in Paul Gilroy Small Acts (1993),'Living memory: a meeting with Toni Morrison'. | ||
