I’m reading “Sula” by Toni Morrison and her writer’s description was a deeper description of what she is, as a writer. I remembered the Susan Sontag interview in which she said that “being a writer is a good position from which you can pay attention to the world and realities” and I consider that this phrase describes very well Toni Morrison intervention (the video). Is difficult for a writer ignores the world and realities, they have a deeper look of the things, they build meaning, faces, characters and stories, some real some fiction but always from a deeper overview that carries us to think in those aspects and questioning about their existence.
In Sula’s book, the author is like a witness that has the ability to describe that society not only in their cultural aspects but also in theirs moods and feelings as individual persons, one examples of that was the part in which Hannah, Sula’s mother asked her mother Eva if she loved her children and she answered saying that she was very busy to think about it because she had to bring food for them so, in that part the author let us to see part of Eva’s feelings, carrying us to think in more than super-fictional things.
