She offers insights into how she arrives at a text through the act of imagination bound up with memory and shows how she explores two worlds - the actual and the possible - via the nimbus of emotion surrounding the journey of an image: from picture to meaning to text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring the radical possibilities of literature and the limits of history, Morrison finds a truth deeper than documentation in the silences and omissions in African American narratives of the past. Fiction, for Morrison, is a practice of ethical restoration: a means to recover what history has neglected through the 'flooding' of a rush of imagination. In The Site of Memory, ancestral presence, emotion and imagination converge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning, it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 32 pages | Published November 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63986325029213,"sku":"9781068591891","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/the-site-of-memory","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
