Reviews for Song of Solomon

Macon Dead, son of a slave, is proud of his business acuity and his Packard car, though embarrassed by his unkempt sister, Pilate, who runs a notorious wine house. The author traces the development to maturity of Macon's son 'Milkman' Dead, born in 1931, and the shifting relationships between members of the family. Skilfully orchestrating a large cast of characters, the 1993 Nobel Prize-winner Morrison portrays the complex world of a black American community with startling clarity. (Kirkus UK)
