“Morrison's debut novel, about a Black girl in 1940s Ohio who wishes for blue eyes, is a book Obama has cited as an early encounter with fiction that took Black girlhood seriously. It's a harder read than Song of Solomon, less mythic, closer to the bone — and an important counterpart to Hurston's more expansive vision.”
