Next up for One Book One BU is a mercy by Toni Morrison. We meet on Friday, October 16 at 2:30 pm in the Humanities Training Room 202. Remember to eat a light lunch on that day since great food and drink will be served.

Morrison's biography is available at http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/tmorris.htm in case you are curious about this winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature. I have heard much about her, but I have not read her work before. I look forward to this forum.

Curious to see if this book deserves your time and attention? As usual, the Christian Science Monitor does a nice job of keeping us informed. Check their book review of a mercy at http://features.csmonitor.com/books/2008/11/04/a-mercy/

I don't think we can afford to bring Morrison to campus for our forum. Here is the next best thing - she reads from a mercy on this video at YouTube. Enjoy! And, don't forget to give your $5 to Melissa Flannery for your copy of the book. We'll see you in October.
