Thanks for the history...What a feast at Drexel U! Thanks for the history, too, which opened my memories. "Sula" was the book that first grabbed my heart. Way back in the early 80s, I assistant-directed Morrison's play, "Dreaming Emmett," with Gil Moses at Capital Rep in Albany, NY, may he rest in peace. Later, when I was working on my doctorate at UCBerkeley, I asked her if I could stage it, but she felt it wasn't ready--and maybe wasn't comfortable with my vision. I remember Toni Morrison as very gentle, thoughtful and strong. Her writing moves me.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-796386868958477201.post-41480760232060593242013-10-02T08:26:55.861-07:002013-10-02T08:26:55.861-07:00How wonderful!
