520    "One of the most celebrated and revered writers in the 
       history of American literature gives us a new nonfiction 
       collection--a rich gathering of her essays, speeches, and 
       meditations on society, culture, and art, spanning four 
       decades. The Source of Self-Regard is brimming with all 
       the elegance of mind and style, the literary prowess and 
       moral compass, that are Toni Morrison's hallmarks. It is 
       divided into three parts: the first is introduced by a 
       powerful prayer for the dead of 9/11, the second by a 
       searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr., and the 
       last by a heart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin. In the
       writings and speeches included here, Morrison takes on 
       contested social issues: the foreigner, female empowerment,
       the press, money, "black matter(s) and human rights. She 
       looks at enduring aspects of culture: the role of the 
       artist in society, the literary imagination, the Afro-
       American presence in American literature, and, in her 
       Nobel lecture, the power of language itself. And here too 
       is piercing commentary on her own work (including The 
       Bluest Eye, Sala, Tar Baby, Jazz, Beloved, and Paradise) 
       and that of others, among them painter and collagist 
       Romare Bearden, author Toni Cade Bambara, and theater 
       director Peter Sellars. In all, The Source of Self-Regard 
       is a luminous and essential addition to Toni Morrison's 
       oeuvre."--Dust jacket.
