Reading Recitatif by Toni Morrison: A Black History Month Discussion

Calling all literary fiction lovers in Austin for a special Black History Month event!

We will be discussing the short story Recitatif by Toni Morrison over food and drinks on February 20 at Pourhouse Pints and Pies 118356 Jollyville Rd. 78759.

We all are expected to buy food and drinks at this place with 25% gratuity to support our host venue. There will be separate checks.

For those seeking to understand the deeper historical and symbolic context of this story, we also recommend an accompanying essay: The Genius of Toni Morrison’s Only Short Story by Zadie Smith.

Both the short story and the essay can be found linked below.

We hope to see you soon for this special Black History Month event!
