A Conversation With Toni Morrison - NYTimes.com/videoua-cam.com/users/TheNewYorkTimes
She's so beautiful. I just love the way she speaks and carries herself. She's such an elegant, classy woman.
She is G_d
Toni Morrison is alright, RIP. She was indeed elegant, classy, lovely. I adore her hair! But I don’t find her speaking style that great. Though it’s better than that simpering interviewer. It’s slightly confusing when Ms. Morrison speaks of her characters like they’re real; and - well I’d also just rather listen to a historian. I used to love her novels when I was younger but I don’t read that much fiction anymore. (Loved Song of Solomon; still trying to finish The Bluest Eye someday.)
A Mercy is a phenomenal novel. It's like she's a medium, able to talk to the spirits of the past, to explain in detail their world. Her voice is a treasure to the world. May she rest in peace 🙏🙏
Gurrrl you are talking🙏
If you have never struggled thru one of her novels you have missed out on something that is only a gift of the universe.
Key word: struggled. I struggled through one in high school. Didn't understand it. Then I went and lived life. Then I praised it!
Currently halfway through Sula. I’m bowled over! What a talent.
Struggled? I never really felt that when reading her great novels. They’re pretty readable.
Nothing said the joys of literature like having to struggle through a book...
The Bluest Eye ripped my heart out and left a permanent pain in my chest. She is an amazing storyteller but one better be prepared before setting out on the journey.
Blessings her as we release her to Him who knows her best... Beloved.
Natasha Beloved so well said🙏🏽
I love her, she is so eloquent and unapologetic about what she writes about, her interviews are always fascinating.
Her Voice
she's so beautiful. so much grace and intelligence.
I feel the title should have been different I know the other day she said that the publishers suggested the title for the book "God Bless the Child "
Oh, my dear youtube attendee, you have no full idea of what you speak. This woman is probably the brightest writer--conceptualist, explainer--I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Seeing and listening to her Interviews is always a joy. Her work has caused me to write.
There truly could be no better person to sit in front of and just listen to than Ms. Morrison. Such elegance and regality! A bad bad woman.
i started writing a book. Then, I opened up my first Toni Morrison book Song of Solomon. She is so so good, I realized I have a lot of work to do ;) Inspiring.
Death to white supremacists 😡 😡
@@Spartacus_Clips Fake Russian UA-cam account. Russian bot detected.
Sarah James, ikr, Song of Solomon was a wonderfully complicated read that I enjoyed immensely. Perhaps I'll re-read it with better comprehension.
Homage to you Ms. Toni, Goodnight Lady..... Condolences to you son! Thank you for sharing your GOD given gift of wonderful, thought provoking stories. Your talents are etiched in our ❤/minds forever!!!!!!
I could only dream to posses the talent that this writer has in her pinky, let alone in her mind. But a person can still dream, and strive to be as.
A literary genius. Do we have anyone like her in our generation?
They probably don't have the time and space to develop their intellect and talent.
No

I love this woman so much, I wouldn't even want to meet her. Too much pressure.
So much pressure. I would be so nervous to meet her.
I would've asked her could she give me a hug. She looks like she gives really good hugs. 💖 RIPPP Toni Morrison, Rest In Peace, Power and Paradise Queen.
I was lucky to meet her in Paris (I'm French). I asked her if she could sum up her work, she said:"I love you". At first I didn't get it (i was 25 at the time). Then later on, the more I listened to her in interviews like this, the more I realized she meant she loves her fellow human beings...she gave us so much...
She is the best example of resilience and it appears in her book on how she tries to overcome a sight problem. You have to give people a chance.
RIPPP Toni Morrison, that is Rest In Peace, Power and Paradise 💖
Added to the lexicon.
Her mind was a gift to this world
Queen!!!
I read Toni Morrison. Now I'm listening to her on UA-cam.
RIP, what a brilliant writer!
the interviewer was WEIRD. but i wish this interview had been a little longer. this woman is a living legend. love her!
Yeah, I know what you mean, the interviewer probably knew somebody.
Beautiful hair.
Always. My Shero, may she Rest in Power.
I love her work & intellect!!!
RIP
I love , will always love her
, and her literary work !
i know.......deeply intelligient too! I would just love to sit and listen to her speak for hours on end
I can't believe this woman is almost 80. she looks so robust.
I wish she were still alive.
Great interview, thanks for posting!!!!!
This woman...so amazing.
TONI MORRISON IS A BRAVE WOMAN! SHE IS TELLING THE TRUTH! UNTIL NOW THERE ARE MANY RACISTS IN USA, UK, CHINA, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA! I AGREE WITH HER 100%. IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO EXIST IN OUR SOCIETY WHEN SOME PEOPLE JUDGE YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE, PERSONALITY, MONEY AND POWER!
I can appreciate her so much more as a person than as an author: That is, I surely do not enjoy her work, but, seeing and hearing her interviewed, one can see she is an informed, thinking, and compassionate person.
Rest in peace Chloe
Thanks dear Toni Morrison. World treasure, Goddess.
Beautiful 👑
Lovely
so sad she passed away,rest in peace Toni Morrison.
A Mercy is one my favorite of her novels. It is a tale of orphans.
what an amazing women...rest in peace
❤️
A mercy
I miss you so much
I see my grandmother in her .
I love this women. 🌹
Rest in power Toni Morrison.
Such a small pocket in time where things maybe took a turn for progressive decency- a world everyone could flourish in, where we as a country truly stood apart like a beacon of light to the rest of the world. A country to be proud of, a better time in a better place. Just for a moment…
Obama didn't write that book LOL. Love her, but her judgment on presidents was based on the fact she saw good when sometimes there really was none to be found. While their story will turn over and over in its grave throughout history, Ms. Morrison will ALWAYS be a blessing to humanity.
James Brown, I wonder how she felt at the end of his presidency, LOL.
she should have been given an honorary doctorate
she is my role model.
Anyone else distracted by how badly shot this is? Or was it a really tight enclosure?! I'm so grateful my lit professors introduced me to the work of Toni Morrison. Should be compulsory reading in US... well, let's start with just reading in the US...
Que mujerazo!
I don't like her books but it's important to have people like her out there.
On a more superficial level, she is so glamorous and sophisticated......
She is beautiful
RIP
Her mind…
Miss Morrison
Correction Dr professor Toni Morrison
Read the credentials know who your talking to young man
Eloquent lady from start to finish
Rip
"... the last election... Barack Obama..." oh no do I have some bad news for you past people.
That last third of the clip is practically heartbreaking.
I only wonder what Ms. Morrison’s thoughts are now of Barack Obama, I think he’s a complete embarrassment.
A time before racism? Hmm
She obviously never learned very much about Obama; or perhaps, as a black woman did not want to face it.
What do you mean?
Ah, back when we didn't know Trump was coming.
She wasn’t wise enough to see through Obama and foresee his fall into selfishly abusing identity politics. Or maybe she saw it and liked it. But Obama is undeniably intelligent and well articulated even if I think he participated is a morally wrong agenda
Lol, I would be very interested to know a president you find "morally" right to your liking?
That is one wicked woman right there.
Explain for clarity. Wicked has a dual meaning.
She failed to explain. Morrison is beyond her ability to comprehend.
Tony Morrison's prose is good, never great. Outside of the US, she was widely known but seldom read , and almost never adopted simply because her writings, though , appreciable to those that identified with the African American experience , offered nothing to one with a desire to indulge in prosaic excellence. That she was black and an American contributed to her Nobel victory and not her writing skills. I've seen folks stick to a Thomas Pynchon volume despite struggling just because they know the end shall be a reward unto itself or leveling abuse at Cormac McCarthy for his penchant for gore yet unwilling to part with , Blood Meridian ...
And should one be a student of literature at an Ivy League school, it's almost academic suicide to criticize the work of Ms Morrison , and most people shy away ; such is the influence of PC in academia that many youngsters despite reservations are forced to eulogize mediocrity.
You sound envious. Whatever she was, she was better than you.🤣
@@maxineshaw3259 Exactly. She is Brilliant. Only low vibrating individuals would fail to recognize this fact. RIPower Queen Toni.
@@maxineshaw3259 Of course i am , and , of course she was. Infact, even a comparison such as the one you are making is odious , and serves to belittle her. But i am sure that you'd concede that when a writer or an artist puts out their work for public consumption the consumer or in this case the reader has every right to judge the composition on its merits or otherwise. Criticism is simply the obverse of commendation. That is what i was doing . Opining. Nowhere did i say that she was a bad writer. And, unknowingly you proved my point. Had you disagreed with me on principle your rejoinder would have mentioned the writers i considered and perhaps exposited your thoughts on the matter or why you were in disagreement with me. But your retort is clearly an emotional reaction and doesn't allows for merit . And this is precisely my point. Her popular estimation is mostly on grounds of sentiment not merit. A manner of affirmative action by way of social distinction and that's exactly why she won a Nobel , while much better authors did not.A feel good politically correct gesture. Another analogy would be the affected manner white people take on when speaking to African Americans , sometimes even going to the extent of playing dumb , fo make the other fellow feel superior , as i said , a feel good gesture. It's nobody's case that a normal parley would not be intelligible to them. But then, it very well might not be. So they do it all the time, just to cover all bases.
All opinions are just that, opinions. Even the ones with many words.
