Toni Morrison Awarded MacDowell Medal

Novelist Toni Morrison, who has won major literary awards including the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature, has been announced as recipient of the 57th Edward MacDowell Medal for her "outstanding contribution to American culture." In a statement, Colony chairman Michael Chabon called Morrison "indisputably the greatest living American novelist" whose "face belongs on postage stamps and mountainsides.” The author of novels including The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, and Beloved, Morrison will accept the award at a ceremony at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire on August 14, 2016.
