The celebrated novelist passed away on Monday night, according to publisher Alfred A. Knopf. Toni Morrison was best known for her best-selling novel Beloved, which took the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
She was the first African-American women to win the Nobel Prize in literature.
Knopf said Morrison passed away at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
We are profoundly sad to report that Toni Morrison has died at the age of eighty-eight.
“We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.”
