The novel Song of Solomon is written by which author?

  1. William Faulkner

  2. Ernest Hemingway

  3. Joel Chandler Harris

  4. Toni Morrison

The correct answer is: Toni Morrison

The novel Song of Solomon is written by Toni Morrison. A and B are incorrect because those authors wrote during the Modernist era and Song of Solomon is a postmodern novel. C is incorrect because Harris is primarily known for his Uncle Remus stories and did not write Song of Solomon. Toni Morrison is the only author out of the four listed who wrote during the postmodern era and is known for her exploration of African American experiences in her writing, making her the correct choice for author of Song of Solomon.
