What specific book did Toni Morrison win the Nobel Prize for in 1993?
Let it be known I'm not referring to her winning the Pulitzer Prize, I know she won that for her novel Beloved.

The Nobel Prize is generally not given for a specific book, but for the author's body of work. This short list contains the few instances where the Prize was awarded for a specific book:
"Awarded for a particular literary work
While the Nobel Prize in Literature is for a writer's life work, there are nine Literature Laureates for whom the Swedish Academy singled out a specific work for particular recognition."
