I'm not sure if this is right, but Toni Morrison wrote Beloved, and I think she won a nobel prize for it. It is the hardest book I ever read--it is written so beautifully and intelligently, but was difficult for me to follow. I had to reread passages as I went along. I hope you'll read it regardless if my answer is right or not.
