I always tell my students, you can be certain that Toni Morrison herself carefully chose every word she ever wrote. That's what makes close reading her work so enjoyable and so fruitful. Today, we launch PASSAGES, a podcast about reading Morrison together. https://t.co/twlhFyoouN

@mayadadol @NewLeftReview This piece was a revelation—I've shared it with several friends already. Also, curious if you know of a way to contact Guarneri.
