Toni Morrison, one of the world's greatest writers...
One of the world's greatest writers, Toni Morrison has won almost every major literary honour, including the Nobel Prize for Literature, as well as attracting a passionate global readership.
Her renowned novels include The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon and Paradise, as well as the Pulitzer Prize-winning Beloved, named 'the best work of American fiction of the past 25 years' by the New York Times. Her writing is marked by an epic power, an unerring ear for dialogue, a poetically-charged and richly-expressive vision and her personal insights into repression, racial tension and the fight for human rights.
Don't miss this chance to hear one of the world's most acclaimed writers as she flies over from the US for a rare appearance to discuss her work and new novel, A Mercy, with Mark Lawson.
