Produktbeschreibung
Two girls are forced to share a room in a shelter. One white and one black. They both reject each other immediately, but little by little they realize that they have more in common than they expected. "Salt and pepper," as others begin to call them, become inseparable, and over time they find themselves in different places: a restaurant, a supermarket, a demonstration, always on opposite sides of social conflicts. . In the only story of hers that she wrote, the great Morrison imagines the map of racial identities in an alternative way and places the reader at the center of one of her most complex literary experiments. This edition also includes an epilogue in which Zadie Smith delves into the mastery of this sophisticated literary artifact.
