Tone Morrison’s First Novel Since Her Nobel Prize by David Gates
When longtime Tone Morrison fan see that her new novel, the first since she won the Nobel Prize in 1993, is called Paradise, they’ll fill in the Lost automatically. Like the classic white American writers she’s lovingly, though warily, adopted as ancestral spirits. Morrison is obsessed with vanished or tainted Edens and failed visions of community. In 1992"s Jazz, it was 1920s Harlem. In 1987"s Beloved, it was a deceptively lovely plantation with the hellishly inapt name of Sweet Home. In 1977"s Song of Solomon, it was an idyllic post-Civil War farm significantly called Lincoln’s Heaven. Now, in Paradise, it’s the all-black Oklahoma town of Ruby in 1970s. Ruby’s built around a huge communal Oven (always reverently capitalized) and blessedly【C21】________from contamination by whites, whether in Klansmen’s hoods, policemen’s【C22】________or bankers" tweeds. It’s literally a garden spot: "Iris, phlox, rose and peonies【C23】________up more and more time new butterflies journeyed【C24】________to brood in Ruby. " With the very best intentions, the good townsfolk trash this Eden all by.【C25】________.
Critics have long recognized the influence of Faulkner on the passionate,【C26】________Morrison, but it’s Hawthorne who seems to brood over Paradise,【C27】________his mixed blessing of resonant archetypes and risible artificiality.【C28】________in The Blithedale Romance (based on Concord’s Brook Farm), a utopian experiment unravels; as in The Maypole of Merry Mount, puritanical elders squash a【C29】________community of dionysiac cultists. Ruby, it turns out, is run by "8-rocks"—men with skin the color of【C30】________from deep in the mines, suspicious of those with lighter skin and【C31】________to do violence against any manifestation of "impurity" and "immorality. " In the slam-bang opening【C32】________of Paradise, the men go gunning for houseful of women up the road whose only【C33】________in being witchy and matriarchal. But the pace picks up again. The novel’s overcrowding makes it feel【C34】________than it is: it slowly circles back to tell each of the women’s stories, and to show how【C35】________proud, principled, churchonging men could neither keep the outside world from disrupting their community nor keep themselves from behaving eerily like their own nightmares of racist vigilantism.
