‘Toni Morrison: Sites of Memory’ exhibition

“Toni Morrison: Sites of Memory,” a new Princeton University Library exhibition, brings together select objects from the Toni Morrison Papers—from early outlines of her first published novel The Bluest Eye (1970) to the only extant drafts of Song of Solomon (1977) to hand-drawn maps of Ruby, the fictional center of Paradise (1998). The exhibition’s materials illuminate how her creative process was a deeply archival one, and spotlights this archive as a site which records unknown aspects of her writing life and practice. Open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 22 to Jun. 4, 2023 in the Milberg Gallery at Firestone Library.
