FYI...Toni Morrison is out with a new book about the 1950's and effects of the Korean War, Home. She was on NPR this past Friday, interviewed by Tom Ashbrook. See the link below.
Morrison has interesting comments about everything from her writing style to President Obama's recent announcement that he supports gay marriage. Check it out if you get a chance (and don't if you don't).
