《所罗门之歌》是托妮·莫里森1977年的作品。小说以“黑人会飞”这则古老的民间传说为故事主线和象征核心，通过北方城市一个富裕黑人家庭的小儿子奶娃南行故土寻找金子，从而意外找到家族之根，文化之源的人生经历，展现出一幅绚烂壮阔的黑人生存画卷，揭示出新老两代、男女两性、贫富两极间的种种冲突，提出了在物质生活日益发展的今天，如何才能解决精神生活贫乏、文化无根的这一严峻社会问题。小说融合现代主义和现实主义，以极具想象力又颇具口语化风格的语言，运用民间色彩浓厚的神话故事，阐释了一个深刻的人类命题。

Song of Solomon explores the quest for cultural identity through an African American folktale about enslaved Africans who escape slavery by fleeing back to Africa. The novel tells the story of Macon "Milkman" Dead, a young man alienated from himself and estranged from his family, his community, and his historical and cultural roots. Author Toni Morrison, long renowned for her detailed imagery, visual language, and "righting" of black history, guides the protagonist along a 30-year journey that enables him to reconnect with his past and realize his self-worth.
