Recitatif
Toni Morrison's sole short story is a masterful experiment in perception. It traces the lifelong, fraught connection between two women, Twyla and Roberta, whose shared childhood in an orphanage binds them despite diverging paths. Morrison deliberately obscures their racial identities, forcing readers to confront their own assumptions and biases as they try to decipher who is Black and who is white, and grapple with the complex legacy of race in America.
