Summary

"Sprawling and epic, Song of Solomon paints a vibrant picture of Black social life across midcentury America. The coming-of-age novel follows Milkman Dead, a Black man caught in arrested development, as he journeys from his hometown in Michigan to rural Pennsylvania and Virginia in a quest for legendary gold, after a youth full of waste, indecision, and wealth. As he searches for gold, Milkman overcomes hardships of all kinds, learns about his heritage, and matures; all the while he’s pursued by his fanatical childhood best friend Guitar, who’s convinced that Milkman will keep all the gold for himself after promising to gift him part of the sum. Along the way Morrison fully renders the inner lives of the Black folk Milkman crosses on his journey toward adulthood, from a town janitor to his father’s midwife." --, abridgment of a review from goodreads.com
