PARADISE was originally titled WAR. Not LOVE. Her editor suggested she call it Paradise instead.

Just a clarification: Jazz unfolds around the murder of Dorcas, not Violet.

loved the many lenses you have placed on all of her novels. from a writer's perspective, a layperson's perspective, and a completionist perspective. really gives insight on where to go with all her novels. hoping to read Song of Solomon for the first time and can't wait! thank you for such an incredible video!

I just found your channel and I have to say I love the way you talk about books - it's very detailed and interesting to listen to. I haven't read anything by Toni Morrison yet but I bought Jazz and will hopefully get to it soon.

Bluest eye was the first book I read from her in my AP Lit class. Personally I would put it in S tier. Good list btw.

Nice Rankings, I have read Beloved and Song of Solomon for college. And am curious about reading Sula & The Bluest Eye. What's your opinion on the "Beloved" movie from 1998?
