From the Podcast, PASSAGES: On Morrison
Continuing on tour for On Morrison, Namwali Serpell travels to Philadelphia to talk with writer Angela Flournoy about a scene from Tar Baby. Speaking at the Free Library, they trace the novel’s invocation of myths and masks, Morrison’s paradoxical presentation of stereotypes, and the surreal, slippery images that make the quotidian scene in grocery store stick.
