Toni Morrison (1931–2019) was an American novelist, editor, and professor whose work centered the experiences of Black Americans with a linguistic precision and mythic depth unmatched in twentieth-century fiction. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Beloved in 1988 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993. Her other major novels include The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, Jazz, and Paradise. She taught at Princeton for nearly two decades and was also a foundational editor at Random House, where she championed writers including Toni Cade Bambara and Angela Davis.
