Reviews
Jean Wyatt's Love and Narrative Form in Toni Morrison's Later Novels is an absolutely brilliant study of Morrison's artistry in her later novels. Not only does it convincingly establish the primacy of love as a thematic concern in Morrison's work, but it traces, through the aid of lucid explanations of theory, the evolving conceptions of love that Morrison represents through her exploration of literary, narrative form. Marrying her reading of form to psychoanalytic theory and investigations of the work done by Morrison's texts in structuring the reader's responses to the ethics of the novels, Wyatt produces an impressive study that is sure to become a definitive statement on Morrison's work., Jean Wyatt's Love and Narrative Form in Toni Morrison's Later Novels is an absolutely brilliant study of Morrison's artistry in her later novels.

Synopsis
In Love and Narrative Form in Toni Morrison's Later Novels , Jean Wyatt explores the interaction among ideas of love, narrative innovation, and reader response in Toni Morrison's seven later novels. Love comes in a new and surprising shape in each of the later novels; for example, Love presents it as the deep friendship between little girls; in Home it acts as a disruptive force producing deep changes in subjectivity; and in Jazz it becomes something one innovates and recreates each moment--like jazz itself. Each novel's unconventional idea of love requires a new experimental narrative form. Wyatt analyzes the stylistic and structural innovations of each novel, showing how disturbances in narrative chronology, surprise endings, and gaps mirror the dislocated temporality and distorted emotional responses of the novels' troubled characters and demand that the reader situate the present-day problems of the characters in relation to a traumatic African American past. The narrative surprises and gaps require the reader to become an active participant in making meaning. And the texts' complex narrative strategies draw out the reader's convictions about love, about gender, about race--and then prompt the reader to reexamine them, so that reading becomes an active ethical dialogue between text and reader. Wyatt uses psychoanalytic concepts to analyze Morrison's narrative structures and how they work on readers. Love and Narrative Form devotes a chapter to each of Morrison's later novels: Beloved , Jazz , Paradise , Love , A Mercy , Home , and God Help the Child ., In Love and Narrative Form in Toni Morrison's Later Novels , Jean Wyatt explores the interaction among ideas of love, narrative innovation, and reader response in Toni Morrison's seven later novels.

- _***a (24)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was shipped quickly, and was securely packaged. Items was in at least as good a condition as described; it may actually be in better condition than described, as the book looks almost new and unread. Given the great condition of the book, the price was an exceptional value. Furthermore, I made contact with the seller with a query; and, they got back to me very quickly, and were able to answer all my questions. Overall, a great transaction. I would buy from this seller again. Thanks!
- l***i (231)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book arrived as described and as pictured. It shipped quickly, but was shipped in only a plastic bag mailer, so not much protection. I will also forewarn, the seller does not answer questions about the specific condition of a book. I know because I asked if two different books had any writing in the margins and received the same pre-generated response both times declining to answer. Despite this, I would still recommend this seller if you are willing to shoulder that risk buying used books

It was packaged in a very thin plastic covering with no padding. The book was fine and not damaged. Delivered on time. I ordered from this seller over the last couple of years. I like to read Beatrice Small's books. A+
