Five months later, Morrison won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and this first issue of the society’s newsletter (the “Bibliography Issue”) features the awarding of the Nobel Prize as its cover story, including an excerpt from Morrison’s Nobel Lecture. Includes an extensive bibliography (1990-1993) which lists books and articles about Morrison. The contents of the rest of this issue include an announcement of the Society’s upcoming first meeting, bios of the Executive Committee, and a report on the founding of the Society.
