This book is truly magnificent. Morrison's allusions to the unjustified discrimination and violence that African Americans faced over the course of history is vividly implemented into the novel, signifying a unique background that influences a young black man, Macon "Milkman" Dead to go on a journey in search of his identity. Morrison's symbolism, motifs, and unique writing style (magical realism), sways the reader forward as they too will make a journey quite like Milkman's.
