‘Beauty was not simply something to behold; it was something one could do.’
– Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye
Lola Okolosie leads a study group offering a critical reading of Toni Morrison’s novel The Bluest Eye. Making connections to contemporary discourses on whiteness and beauty with references to pop cultural texts such as Love Island, Okolosie expands the conversation to also consider Morrison’s Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination.
Lola Okolosie is a writer and schoolteacher. She has written for The Observer, The Guardian and Red Pepper, among other publications. She is the winner of the Novel Studio Scholarship from City University for her novel-in-progress, Returnees.
