The only African American to receive the Nobel Prize in literature, Toni Morrison expanded and enriched American letters by poetically inserting African American experience into the American narrative and, in so doing, made the American narrative more complex and complete. Her eleven novels as well as her editorial career recalibrated American letters. "Beloved" is her most well known novel, and it offers a unique perspective on a central American institution—slavery and its legacies.
