Synopsis "Las DOS Amigas (Un Recitativo) (Inédito) / Recitatif (in Spanish)"

TONI MORRISON INÉDITA El único y deslumbrante relato de la ganadora del Premio Nobel de Literatura, «un gigante de su época y de la nuestra (Margaret Atwood), con un epílogo de Zadie Smith. «Ella lideraba y nosotros la seguíamos: nos enseñó la belleza del lenguaje y el poder que se desata cuando se unen un gran corazón y una mente feroz . -Salman Rushdie Dos niñas son obligadas a compartir habitación en un centro de acogida. Una blanca y otra negra. Ambas se rechazan de inmediato, pero poco a poco se dan cuenta de que tienen en común más de lo que esperaban. «La sal y la pimienta , como las empiezan a llamar los demás, se vuelven inseparables, y con el paso del tiempo se van encontrando en distintos lugares: un restaurante, un supermercado, una manifestación, siempre en lados opuestos de los conflictos sociales. En el único relato que escribió, la gran Morrison imagina el mapa de las identidades raciales de forma alternativa y sitúa al lector en el centro de uno de sus experimentos literarios más complejos. Esta edición incluye, además, un epílogo en el que Zadie Smith ahonda en la maestría de este sofisticado artefacto literario. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - A beautiful, arresting story about race and the relationships that shape us through life by the legendary Nobel Prize winner--for the first time in a beautifully produced stand-alone edition, with an introduction by Zadie Smith "A puzzle of a story, then--a game.... When [Morrison] called Recitatif an 'experiment' she meant it. The subject of the experiment is the reader." --Zadie Smith, award-winning, best-selling author of White Teeth In this 1983 short story--the only short story Morrison ever wrote--we meet Twyla and Roberta, who have known each other since they were eight years old and spent four months together as roommates in St. Bonaventure shelter. Inseparable then, they lose touch as they grow older, only later to find each other again at a diner, a grocery store, and again at a protest. Seemingly at opposite ends of every problem, and at each other's throats each time they meet, the two women still cannot deny the deep bond their shared experience has forged between them. Another work of genius by this masterly writer, Recitatif keeps Twyla's and Roberta's races ambiguous throughout the story. Morrison herself described Recitatif, a story which will keep readers thinking and discussing for years to come, as "an experiment in the removal of all racial codes from a narrative about two characters of different races for whom racial identity is crucial." We know that one is white, and one is Black, but which is which? And who is right about the race of the woman the girls tormented at the orphanage? A remarkable look into what keeps us together and what keeps us apart, and how perceptions are made tangible by reality, Recitatif is a gift to readers in these changing times

She died in August 2019 in the small New York village of Grand View-on-Hudson at the age of eighty-eight.

In her works, she addressed the issues of the black population in the United States, as well as other themes such as identity, memory, racism, or cultural resistance. Among her most notable novels are Beloved, with which she won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, The Bluest Eye, and Song of Solomon.
