A Gravely Choreographed Dance Presented by Victor Judge Sundays in February 9:45am-10:45am CKS School Library
Nobel laureate Toni Morrison was named Chloe Ardelia Wofford on the occasion of her birth in 1931, but upon her conversion to Roman Catholicism and receiving the Sacrament of Baptism when she is twelve years old, Morrison takes the name “Anthony” as her baptismal name in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua. “Toni” would become her nickname and the name under which she will live her vocation as an editor, essayist, novelist, and professor.
To commemorate February as African American History month, the Adult Formation Class at Christ the King Church will study Morrison’s novel titled Song of Solomon as representative of her incarnational conception of human existence which she narrates in luminous, poetic prose that Southern literary artist Reynolds Price compares to “a gravely choreographed dance.”
Published in 1977, Song of Solomon was awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award and has been acknowledged by The Guardian as among the 100 best novels composed in the English language. The lecturer for the series is Victor Judge, assistant dean for academic affairs and lecturer in literature and religion at Vanderbilt University Divinity School.
