Product Description

Milkman Dead was born shortly after a neighborhood eccentric hurled himself off a rooftop in a vain attempt at flight. For the rest of his life he?? too?? will be trying to fly. With this brilliantly imagined novel?? Toni Morrison transfigures the coming-of-age story as audaciously as Saul Bellow or Gabriel Garc?a M?rquez.

Morrison introduces an entire cast of strivers and seeresses?? liars and assassins?? the inhabitants of a fully realized black world.
