Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Book Club Edition. Third Printing, September 1977. 'A Book-of-the-Month Club Selection' Bright, clean & tight copy in Very Good condition. Erstwhile remainder has tiny red Random House stamp on text bottom, o/w unmarked. "Three years after her brilliantly acclaimed Sula, Toni Morrison gives us a novel of large beauty and power, creating a magical world out of four generations of black life in America. . . It is a world we enter in the present, through Macon Dead, Jr. (known as Milkman), son of the richest black family in a midwestern town. We enter it on the day of his birth (the first black baby allowed to be born at Mercy--popularly called "No Mercy"--Hospital), the day on which the lonely insurance man Robert Smith, poised in blue silk wings, attempts to fly from the steeple of the hospital, a black Icarus looking homeward. . . . We see Milkman growing up in his father's money-haunted, death-haunted house with his silent sisters and strangely passive mother, and we watch him beginning to move outward--through his profound love and combat with his friend (his Biblical brother) Guitar . . . through Guitar's mad and loving commitment to the band of seven, the secret avengers called the Seven Days . . . through Milkman's exotic and then imprisoning affair with his love-blind cousin, Hagar . . . and through his unconscious apprenticeship to the one person in his family who is open, unfettered, whole: the exiled one, his unkempt, mystical, bootlegging Aunt Pilate, with a brass box for an earring, with no navel ("a stomach blind as a knee . . . something God never made"), Pilate who looks like a tall black tree and who saved his life before he was born. . . This is a novel in which mystery unfolds on mystery, revelation on revelation--in which our vision of what we have seen turns, changes, and takes shape again, transformed. It is a novel expressing with passion, tenderness, and a magnificence of language the mysterious primal essence of family bond and conflict, the feelings and experience of all people wanting, and striving, to be alive." [jacket copy] "A rich, full novel. . . . It lifts us up and impresses itself upon us like a love affair."--The New York Times Book Review. "Morrison dazzles. . . She creates a black community strangely unto itself yet never out of touch with the white world. . . With an ear as sharp as glass she has listened to the music of black talk and uses it as a palette knife to create black lives and to provide some of the best fictional dialogue around today."--The Nation. "A rhapsodic work. . . Intricate and inventive. . . Morrison moves easily in and out of the lives and thoughts of her characters, luxuriating in the diversity of circumstances and personality, and revelling in the sound of their voices and of her own, which echoes and elaborates theirs."--The New Yorker.
