Toni Morrison was a 'literary mother' to countless writers

For a day she could pretend to be Sula Peace, from Nobel laureate Toni Morrison 's novel "Sula," an ode to female friendship and how it can endure the most shameless betrayals. Toni Morrison died this week at age 88 and left behind countless writers for whom her characters were like close acquaintances and her stories like parables to guide them through their own lives. Edwidge Danticat, the prize-winning Haitian-American author, called her "a literary mother to generations of writers, especially black women writers like myself." To ask a writer about reading Morrison or how Morrison influenced their work is, in part, to ask why they became writers at all. Saeed Jones, a prize-winning poet whose memoir "How We Fight for Our Lives" comes out this fall, remembered repeated efforts to read "The Bluest Eye" and the Morrison novel "Tar Baby."
