Review: This web page provides links to biographical information about and interviews with Toni Morrison, who is the first African-American author to win a Nobel Prize in literature (1993). She also won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988.

The most useful portions of this site from a teacher's point of view are the links to book reviews, essays, and articles on seven of Morrison's works. The content available varies from book to book, but for several of the books teachers will find links to study questions, summaries, and excerpts which would be helpful in a classroom setting.
