Ep. 378 I’m Trying to Avoid Toni Morrison with Dana A. Williams

This week on the Stacks, we are joined by author and African-American literature professor, Dana A. Williams. She has written a brand new book called Toni at Random: The Iconic Writer’s Legendary Editorship, which chronicles Morrison's time as an editor at Random House. Dana shares with us the behind the scenes story of how her book title came to be, her favorite Morrison book, and why she chose God Help the Child for our July Book Club Pick. The Stacks Book Club pick for July is God Help the Child by Toni Morrison. We will discuss on Wednesday, July 30th with Dana A. Williams returning as our guest.
