托尼·莫里森是迄今为止诺贝尔文学奖的惟一黑人女性得主。她立足于社会道义和民族忧患意识的高度,以古希腊悲剧精神之刃,剖析了现代社会中美国黑人特别是黑人女性的生存困境,让母爱与暴力并置,深入挖掘潜沉于黑人灵魂深处不屈的悲剧精神:能够自觉意识到自身的生存困境,以自己的柔弱和不屈为自己求生存、求自尊、求人格、求希望、求未来。 Tony Morrison is by far the only Nobel Prize winner for black women. Based on the sense of social morality and the national sense of hardship, she analyzed the survival predicament of the blacks in the modern society, especially the black women, with the edge of the ancient Greek tragedy spirit. She juxtaposed maternal love and violence and deeply tapped the soul of the black soul Unyielding tragedy: consciously aware of their own predicament, with their own weak and unyielding for their survival, seeking self-esteem, seeking personality, seeking hope, seeking the future.
