About Home:
America’s most
celebrated novelist, Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison extends her
profound take on our history with this twentieth-century tale of
redemption: a taut and tortured story about one man’s desperate search
for himself in a world disfigured by war.
Frank Money is an angry,
self-loathing veteran of the Korean War who, after traumatic experiences
on the front lines, finds himself back in racist America with more than
just physical scars. His home may seem alien to him, but he is shocked
out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused
younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come
from and that he’s hated all his life. As Frank revisits his memories
from childhood and the war that have left him questioning his sense of
self, he discovers a profound courage he had thought he could never
possess again.
A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding his manhood—and his home.
This event is co-sponsored by Charis Circle's From Margin to Center Literary Program. The suggested donation is $5.
