There are only a handful of books that I find myself returning to at least once a year. The Bluest Eye is one of them, offering new discoveries with each read despite its short length. Few writers, especially with their debuts, expose the raw wounds of the human condition like Toni Morrison.

Morrison's first and my first Morrison, at the time not much older than Pecola myself. A scathing indictment, a challenge to the status quo born of deep resilience, and a love letter to black people.
