vintageanchor: Happy birthday to one of our favorite writers — Ohio-born Toni Morrison (1931), born Chloe Anthony Wofford, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature (1993) and the Pulitzer (1987). The best way to celebrate? Read some Morrison today… “I think long and carefully about what my novels ought to do. They should clarify the roles that have become obscured; they ought to identify those things in the past that are useful and those things that are not; and they ought to give nourishment.” —Toni Morrison
