托妮·莫瑞森是美国文学历史上第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人作家。她始终围绕黑人命运展开创作,并赋予这些传统题材以新的形式和生命力。她的创作呈现出明显的后现代主义倾向,不仅消极了传统的叙事权威,而且重现了一段曾经“缺失”的黑人的历史。可以说她的创作为非洲裔美国人——这个处于边缘的人群找到了新的表达方式,为黑人文学创作开辟出另一片园地。 Toni Morrison is the first black writer in the history of American literature to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. She has always started to focus on the fate of Negroes and has given these traditional themes new forms and vitality. Her writing has shown a clear tendency of postmodernism, which not only negates the traditional authority of narrative but also reproduces the history of a black man who used to be “missing”. Arguably her creation has found a new expression for African-Americans, the marginalized, opening up another dimension for black literary creation.
