This is a tough one, depends on the reader.
Song of Solomon is the most accessible. It's not as abstruse as Bluest and Paradise and Jazz and...and... most Morrison.
Bluest is still powerful even if you don't "get" it all. And it deserves a couple reads anyway. I didn't get it until I grew up to understand the real insidious reality of racism.
But definitely, check out Morrison's Nobel lecture! Immediately!
