“A rich, full novel. . . . It lifts us up [and] impresses itself
upon us like a love affair.” —The New York Times Book Review
“A rhapsodic work. . . . Intricate and inventive.” —The New
Yorker
“Stunningly beautiful. . . . Full of magnificent people. . . . They
are still haunting my house. I suspect they will be with me
forever.” —Anne Tyler, The Washington Post
“If Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man went underground, Toni Morrison’s
Milkman flies.” —John Leonard, The New York Times Book Review
“It places Toni Morrison in the front rank of contemporary American
writers. She has written a novel that will endure.” —The Washington
Post
“Lovely. . . . A delight, full of lyrical variety and allusiveness.
. . . [An] exceptionally diverse novel.” —The Atlantic Monthly
“Morrison is a terrific storyteller. . . . Her writing evokes the
joyful richness of life.” —Newsday
“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 marvelous novel, the most moving I have read in ten years of
reviewing.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Toni Morrison has created a fanciful world here. . . . She has an
impeccable sense of emotional detail. She’s the most sensible
lyrical writer around today.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
“A fine novel exuberantly constructed. . . . So rich in its use of
common speech, so sophisticated in its use of literary traditions
and language from the Bible to Faulkner . . . it is also extremely
funny.” —The Hudson Review
“Toni Morrison is an extraordinarily good writer. Two pages into
anything she writes one feels the power of her language and the
emotional authority behind that language. . . . One closes the book
warmed through by the richness of its sympathy, and by its
breathtaking feel for the nature of sexual sorrow.” —The Village
Voice
“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
