The author of Song of Solomon now sets her extraordinary novelistic powers on a striking new course. Tar Baby, audacious and hypnotic, is masterful in its mingling of tones-of longing and alarm, of urbanity and a primal, mythic force in which the landscape itself becomes animate, alive with a wild, dark complicity in the fates of people whose drama unfolds. It is a novel suffused with a tense and passionate inquiry, revealing a whole spectrum of emotions underlying the relationships between black men and women, white men and women, and black and white people.The place is a Caribbean island. In their mansion overlooking the sea, the cultivated millionaire Valerian Street, now retired, and his pretty, younger wife, Margaret, go through the rituals of living, as if in a trance.

And Jadine, who is at first repelled by the intruder, finds herself moving inexorably toward him-he calls himself Son; he is a kind of black man she has dreaded since childhood; uneducated, violent, contemptuous of her privilege.As Jadine and Son come together in the loving collision they have welcomed and feared, the novel moves outward-to the Florida backwater town Son was raised in, fled from, yet cherishes; to HER sleek New York; then back to the island people and their protective
