- A fireside chat with Toni Morrison, hosted by Torrence Boone from the Google New York office. In her latest book "Home," Ms. Morrison extends her profound take on our history with this twentieth-century tale of redemption: a taut and tortured story about one man's desperate search for himself in a world disfigured by war.
Frank Money is an angry, self-loathing veteran of the Korean War who, after traumatic experiences on the front lines, finds himself back in racist America with more than just physical scars. His home may seem alien to him, but he is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come from and that he's hated all his life. As Frank revisits his memories from childhood and the war that have left him questioning his sense of self, he discovers a profound courage he had thought he could never possess again. A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding his manhood-and his home.

Listening to her brings tears to my eyes. Listening to her feels like home. I don’t know how else to say it.
You said it beautifully.
She is my Great Mother archetype that lives inside my psyche.
She is brilliant, charming, witty, funny, and beautiful. Not just a physical beauty although it’s obvious but a beauty that’s internal. A light that radiates within her. I just want to hug her. I love Toni Morrison!
What a loss. Her legacy lives on eternally
She has given a voice when it came to what motherhood was like kn
Kowing no good would come to your children.
An incredible conversation, here. Salute to Torrence Boone, for being an awesome interviewer. Toni Morrison- Her words will live, forever. Continue to rest in power, Toni Morrison. ✊🏿🤎🤎🤎
You will be missed Beloved Toni - your body of work speaks volumes - thank you so very much. RIP
Rest in Your Powerful Courageous Words Dear Queen ~
Soo gifted and such a gift. She's my literary Queen. RIP❤
Thank you very much Google for this writers series. Interesting, personable, necessary.

❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘
50:38 'there is no age in which people did not make art' 👏 👏 👏
51:07 'the hunger for story is permanent, eternal' ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 'it's like food, it will never go away' 👍
Started this novel the day before she passed and just finished it. I'm just floored by the timelessness of her work and the freshness of her perceptions. How she associates and plays with the known to bring us somewhere new. What a blessing it is to read her work.
Possibly my favorite. All kinds of love. “Taking the skin off the scab of our lives in the 50s…”
Dr. Morrison, lady, sista, you ROCK! You are very beloved in the community! Much love, respect & gratitude!
That POSTURE! Fierce ❤️
I love listening to her as well, I love these google venues...
Thank you...Ms Morrison. May God bless you and May your soul rest in peace.
Home " is Safe ", United States Of America. Here no one can hurt you; not when you are at home, if one would dare, there would be those who would come to your defense. Thank you for this interview with Toni Morrison. 💜💞💜
"The point of writing is to take something common and estrange it, make it new again"
I love listening to Morrison's interviews - each one grants knowledge to anyone curious enough to listen. But jeez that's a hard task with that hunk of man meat sitting next to her. XD
+mo marius Preach, Chiiiiild!!!! Even at my age (and I adore Prof. Morrison's work/interview style), I think I only registered about every 10th word.
she inspires me to be focused so much so that it doesnt compare!!!!!!
This is a good discourse into the creative element.
My god. Every time he smiled I lost focus
Rest In Peace 💗
I could listen to her all day every day.
I've never even realized until she pointed it out here that she doesn't really describe her characters appearance that much bc I've never had a problem not seeing them. I have always saw them so vibrantly in my mind. I am a white female and my mother introduced her to me when I was around 14 and I have been in love ever since.
Yes.....Atlanta is a very diverse community of people’s that’s why I love it here
The ending comments I didn't understand but the whole discussion was intoxicating and poetic..loved it!
19:15 'no one is out to get you... that's home' 👏 👏 👏 'there's a yearning in it, a mysticalness' 👏 👏 👏 'the physical and spiritual safety of home' ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘
The children's story about what took place in history concerning what it looked like, it felt like, it was like back in the day when we were becoming a people was brilliant and on time and congratulations on seeing the need and getting it done! love
Wonderful. Deep wisdom, compounded by the reinforced strength one gets from conscious research and thinking deeply on difficult yet important and fascinating topics. She is deserving of all the accolades.
Great hair.
very thrilling. Toni Morrison a top by her own
I love Toni Morrison's work. I am currently reading about 4 books of hers, one after the other of course and I am enjoying it. I really loved seeing how down to earth she is.
-Torrence Boone- Great job interviewing and my god, so sexy. I know I have a chance with him now and that makes me sooo happy. :) and yes,even if that sounded creepy, we are all entitled to one creep moment a lifetime lol.
50:23 Inspiring & ESSENTIAL as always 🎨💖
BRILLIANT.
Art forms.....lovely
17:00 - 20:35 incredibly resonates so deeply with me
She knows the secrets of the universe and you would think someone who knows the secrets of the universe would think the rest of us who don’t are beneath her. You think it would be exasperating to talk to anyone else and it must be but instead she embraces us and says. Let me show you. Let me share with you.
Very Good Heart felt Review. I didn't know anything about this person until today and I'm aof the same so called Race who grew up at that time 70's etc, Unfortunate.
Word constructions and association. It might be very general but it is a source of more in-depth analysis. Great conversation.
Profound👌
6/8/20 found this interview from #grltrek podcast. I can't wait to get into it!!!
Imagine being taught by TONI
I wished someone would've ask her, who the character in the blue zoot suit was to Frank Money
39:40 'when I get stuck the music releases me' ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘

@ Talks at Google.
The transcription is incorrect here:
44:48 Always the gays--
It should be "gaze" not "gays"
'nobody cares but ido" love her
Is there a transcript of this interview anywhere?
Click on the three dots to the right of "Download." One of them is "Show Transcript." I'm watching this in 2023 so I'm answering you seven years hence. That is because I LOVE the transcripts and used to transcribe myself (which takes forever) but often the transcript is available as it is here.
Thank You Mother Godd! Redd. ⚡️🕉
Wonderful interview. And I concur, Kold. Torrence is delicious-looking.
I wonder if she is watching us now from the other side?
Morbid.
Ben A I can be at times. The SciFi “what if” in me. 👋🏽
kiitos
Please, who has already read the novel HOME? I'd like to know your impressions, opinion, your point of view about this book. Who can help?
I could. And I liked Frank Money. 😂
wow
I'm a big fat person just like Toni Morrison. Toni gives me hope and inspiration that I too may live well into my 80's before I die. Toni Morrison died in her 88th year and I believe her weight here when she was about 82 years was approximately 260 pounds.
52:48 'who I the foreigner' 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Yes ....language can do that ....create different narratives.......develop diverse positions
My lord, wondering if in fact Toni had pneumonia at the time of this interview 😳 America must do better by its citizens

Gaia??
Derivatives of some artist works allowing the imagination to complete facial expression adding emotional effects.
Wonderful woman. And of course, NOT a feminist 🙂
HUH???
40:18 'tell her to read Homer... speaking of viollence and rape'
She was ready
Much as I adore Miss Morrison, I have to say that at +/- 28:00 lies some serious hyperbole ie. That a book costs a month's salary in Africa. Her most recent book 'A Mouth Full of Blood" sold for R300 in Joburg Mall... No one earns R300 a month, as a general matter.
In some African countries, the cost of a book may as well be as a month's salary. It's so inaccessible

Rip in pepperoneronieries queen of the memes.
