Some of Morrison's best-known novels are "The Bluest Eye," "Sula," "Song of Solomon," and "Beloved." She won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1993 and the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988 for "Beloved," which was adapted into a film starring Oprah Winfrey in 1998. In 2006, a survey of writers and literary critics by The New York Times ranked "Beloved" as the best work of American fiction for the past 25 years.
