Narrative techniques in Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison: 

starting in media res; 

using shared knowledge (Lindbeergh, geographical locations, etc) to focus on the story's main points (a journey of self discovery);

using language (fly, flight, wings; Doctor vs Not Doctor street/ Mercy vs No Mercy hospital, etc); 

anaphoric and cataphoric references

Discussing Morrison's foreword.
