Biography
Justine Tally is Professor of American Literature at the University of La Laguna, where she specializes in African American literature. Her books include Paradise Reconsidered: Toni Morrison’s (Hi)stories and Truths (1999) and The Story of Jazz: Toni Morrison’s Dialogic Imagination (2001), and The Cambridge Companion to Toni Morrison (Ed. 2007).
"Obviously the labor of a seasoned scholar who has read widely and taken her time, Tally's critical adventure explores the contents and continents required to accumulate the richly interpretative hermeneutics demanded by her writer...she turns to the text, which to my mind renders her book a page-turner, the writing remarkably readable, sometimes riveting, often funny." – Susan Neal Mayberry, African American Review
