Finished 2025: The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison 📚 My first Morrison (and Morrison’s first novel), past due. The writing is lovely. Characters are (mostly) fully realized. What I wasn’t expecting was the degree to which this novel is about mass media and the ways in which 20th century mass media shaped cultural expectations. In the best way, it is a particular story that speaks to broader shared context and illuminates it.
