Über diesen Titel

America's most celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison extends her profound take on our history with this twentieth-century tale of redemption: a taut and tortured story about one man's desperate search for himself in a world disfigured by war.

Frank Money is an angry, self-loathing veteran of the Korean War who, after traumatic experiences on the front lines, finds himself back in racist America with more than just physical scars. His home may seem alien to him, but he is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come from and that he's hated all his life.

As Frank revisits his memories from childhood and the war that have left him questioning his sense of self, he discovers a profound courage he had thought he could never possess again. A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and his home.

Kritikerstimmen

"Profound . . . Morrison's portrayal of Frank is vivid and intimate, her portraits of the women in his life equally masterful. Its brevity, stark prose, and small cast of characters notwithstanding, this story of a man struggling to reclaim his roots and his manhood is enormously powerful.” (Stephan Lee, O, The Oprah Magazine)
“Morrison’s perfect prose [is] immaculate...Beautiful, brutal.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“A deceptively rich and cumulatively powerful novel.” ( Kirkus)

I am so glad that I got to listen to Morrison's own voice reading her novel. A story that transports you back into that time, describing the history of the black experience from an inside perspective.
The feelings, the descriptions of feelings in people's lives, the kinds of situations that Frank Money and his sister Cee find themselves in, this is what gets me. I enjoyed listening to it and felt connected to their story by the end of it.
Morrison's voice is stern, but sensitive. She has a sort of authority that makes it easy to listen to, but then she hits you with surprisingly emotional insights. I love this play between the harshness of life mixed with the fragility of her characters experiences, like a mirror to the reality of life.
