The Street: A Novel

The Street: A Novel - Ann Petry Another one I read during graduate school. I read it twice back then, once for a class, and then around the date I am noting now for a paper I had to write on it. It was kind of forced reading by then, which probably puts a bit of bias into my impression of it. I made a some good notes on my journal back then but all very academic. The one thing I will say from back then: the conflict of the book lies on how to succeed by hard work when conditions and environment are not favorable? As I think about it now, I have to say the book would seem very relevant today.
