In many interviews Barack Obama has referred to this novel as one of his all time favorites, and Toni Morrison as one of the best writers of all time. In 1993 Morrison won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and this novel was mentioned as one of the reasons during the ceremony in Sweden.
“Song of Solomon” tells the enduring story of Macon “Milkman” Dead III and his quest to discover his true roots. This tale of an African American man living in Detroit, Michigan resonated with Barack Obama and the world. Oprah Winfrey, friend and supporter of Obama, also chose this book for her coveted Book Club.
