Below is a quote from Toni Morrison explaining the title of
her book Home:
Nobody is out to get you at
home... When someone says home...it’s something very special... Everybody doesn’t like you
in your home. Some people really dislike you in your
home. But no one is gonna hurt you. Everyone is gonna help you
whether they like you or not (“Toni Morrison | ‘Home’ Authors
at Google”).
Such beautiful ideals.
The concept of home has never
elicited a feeling of emotional safety for me.
Perhaps that’s why I enjoy this book so much—despite the atrocities Frank
Money and Cee experience, they lead each other to those beautiful ideals.
