I'll probably think about this story for this rest of my life.
This carefully constructed piece of art seeks to zero in on the reader's complex and highly individual biases. Why do we believe one character is black while the other is white? Toni Morrison urges the reader to deconstruct their beliefs, their prejudices and the stereotypes projected onto these two characters. It is not designed to be decoded. It serves as a reflection of you.
