The most touching tributes to Toni Morrison

Toni Morrison has died at the age of 88 and mourners all around the world are celebrating her remarkable impact.

Her writing is a rarity that's revered by critics and academics as much as by readers and book clubs. And her exploration of race, freedom and feminism remains as luminously relevant in 2019.

The stream of tributes from the next generation of writers and thinkers show the breadth of Morrison's talent and her enduring legacy.
