Harvard Book Store Author Series Presents:

Harvard Book Store is pleased to announce that on Wednesday, October 29th Toni Morrison will be reading from her new book, Love.

"The fusion of long-hidden secrets with the destructive-redemptive power of love forms the hot core of Morrison's masterworks, Song of Solomon(1977) and Beloved (1987). It may seem rash to be claiming such stature already for Love, the novel that will appear this November, but somebody's going to, and it might as well be us. It's a dense, dark star of a novel, seemingly eccentric, secretly shapely, with Faulknerian passions and Nabokovian layers of lies and misdirection, the 19th-century device of a disputed will and some 20th-century social history - and with Morrison, now 72, writing at the top of her game." —Newsweek
