Summary
Ok, we are going with back-to-back loved reads! In this episode, Élaina discusses The Street by Ann Petry with fellow podcaster Jack Davidson. The Street is a realist drama written and set in 1940s Harlem, NYC. But really, it is a masterful and bejeweled offering of complicated characters and systemic stakes. It’s a must read and belongs on every high school syllabus. Warning: The Street reads like a thriller with a twist ending, so you may want to read it first before listening to the episode. However, it is so rich that being “spoiled” is not necessarily a deal-breaker. Because Harlem is on Lenape land, we would like to encourage you to donate to the Lenape Center: https://www.nyfa.org/fiscal-sponsorship/project-directory/view-project/?id=L3600 CW: Discussions of systemic racism, misogyny, violence against Black people, attempted sexual assault, and murder. You can follow Jack on Instagram @goodeveningjack and you can find his The Vampire Diaries fan recap podcast TVD JK @tvdjk_pod.
