Sula
by Toni Morrison
"Any more fires in this house, I'm lighting them!"
"Hellfire don't need lighting and it's already burning in you..."
"Whatever's burning in me is mine!"
Sula is my first Morrison and I'm just now beginning to understand the power of a voice like that. Literary, political, and poetic, Sula is the story of a friendship between girls who complete each other and a town who needs a devil to do right. Many laud Sula as a formative piece in black feminist literature which is very clear in the text. Morrison also provides one of the best forewords I've ever read. Very quick, very literary, and very worth the read!
