THE BLUEST EYE.

The Bluest Eye is a 1970 novel by American author Toni Morrison. It is Morrison's first

novel and was written while she was teaching at Howard University and raising her two sons on her own.The story is about a year in the life of a young black girl named Pecola who develops an inferiority complex due to her eye color and skin appearance. It is set inm

Lorain, Ohio, against the backdrop of America's Midwest during the years following the Great Depression. The point of view switches between the perspective of Claudia MacTeer, as a child and as an adult, and a hird-person omn is cient viewpoint. Because of the controversial nature of the book, which deals with racism, incest, and child molestation

there have been numerous attempts to ban it from schools and libraries.
