Beloved's Controversial Award
Some members of America's literary community are up in arms, claiming Toni Morrison's Beloved was named the best American novel of the past 25 years out of political correctness. What do you think?
Amie Mondale,
Crime-Scene Cleaner
"Beloved?! Over that, uh... one classic book? And what about that other one? Past 25 years, you said?"
Andrew Blevins,
Building Manager
"Blah, blah, blah. When do we vote for best kebabs?"
Syd Green,
Tailor
"Beloved is just another example of angry minorities trying to do away with the canon by generating moving works of literary genius."
