Toni Morrison (18 februari 1931-5 augustus 2019) is de beroemdste vrouwelijke Zwarte schrijver uit de moderne literatuurgeschiedenis. Ze schreef iconische boeken als The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon en Beloved, en werd in 1993 bekroond met de Nobelprijs voor de Literatuur. Dat haar taal prachtig is, zin voor zin en woord voor woord, daarover is iedereen het volmondig eens. Toch, zo schrijft Neske Beks, ‘ken ik geen schrijver over wiens boeken vaker wordt gezegd dat ze moeilijk zijn’. Inderdaad: Morrison doet geen concessies aan de lezer – maar wanneer je haar leest, écht leest, geeft ze je ongeëvenaard veel. In Morrisons werk is ruimte voor pijn, kracht, humor, warmte, liefde, verdriet, lichtheid, confrontatie en verbondenheid. Beks biedt zowel nieuwe als ervaren Morrisonlezers in dit essay een wegwijzer in haar oeuvre vanuit een Zwart perspectief. Ze introduceert haar leven en werk en laat zien dat Morrison in alles wat ze doet uitnodigt tot zélf kritisch nadenken over taal, structuur, macht, gender, ras, recht en onrecht, Zwart-zijn, de witte blik en de betekenis van orale en geschreven verhalen. Neske Beks brengt de lezer zeer dicht bij de essentie van een Zwart, vrouwelijk schrijverschap – en nodigt uit tot diep (her)lezen van Morrisons uitzonderlijk belangrijke oeuvre.

Richly drawn stories about the lives of ordinary families in contemporary Botswana as they navigate relationships, tradition and caretaking in a rapidly changing world.

A young widow adheres to the expectations of wearing mourning clothes for nearly a year, though she’s unsure what the traditions mean or whether she is ready to meet the world without their protection. An older sister returns home from a confusing time in America, only to explain at every turn why she’s left the land of opportunity. A younger sister hides her sexual exploits from her family, while her older brother openly flaunts his infidelity.

The stories collected in Call and Response are strongly anchored in place – in the village of Serowe, where the author is from, and in Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana – charting the emotional journeys of women seeking love and opportunity beyond the barriers of custom and circumstance.
