BZZZZZT! Sorry. Thanks for playing.

But, nice try.

Actually, under common usage, there really is not an error in the sentence. However, picking nits to the point of making language "un-understandable" (sic), the antecedent of "her" is not "Toni Morrison." The antecedent is"Toni Morrison's genius."

Therefore, the sentence technically should read "Toni Morrison's genius enables IT to create novels..."
