Morrison and Naylor : a look at narration : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Toni Morrison and Gloria Naylor use narration to create fluid novels that require active participation by the reader. By combining the identity, ambiguity, and reliability of the narrators, the mixture of narrative voices, and the unusual format, Morrison and Naylor create novels that are full of variation. I have chosen to explore these variations and the similarities between the two books.
