She offers insights into how she arrives at a text through the act of imagination bound up with memory and shows how she explores two worlds - the actual and the possible - via the nimbus of emotion surrounding the journey of an image: from picture to meaning to text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the radical possibilities of literature and the limits of history, Morrison finds a truth deeper than documentation in the silences and omissions in African American narratives of the past. Fiction, for Morrison, is a practice of ethical restoration: a means to recover what history has neglected through the 'flooding' of a rush of imagination. In \u003ci\u003eThe Site of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, ancestral presence, emotion and imagination converge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning, it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toni Morrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silver Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.27h x 5.35w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781068591891","brand":"Toni Morrison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67514418200804,"sku":"9781068591891","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/9781068591891.jpg?v=1791532146","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/the-site-of-memory-toni-morrison-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
