The great secret ; Harlem ; The novel as social criticism. 000858566 520__ $$a"The Street follows Lutie Johnson, a young, newly single mother, as she struggles to make a better life for her son, Bub. An intimate account of the aspirations and challenges of black, female, working-class life, much of it set on a single block in Harlem, the novel exposes structural inequalities in American society while telling a complex human story, as overpriced housing, lack of opportunity, sexual harassment, and racism conspire to limit Lutie's potential and to break her buoyant spirit ... The Narrows (1953) is Petry's most ambitious and accomplished novel--a multi-layered, stylistically innovative exploration of themes of race, class, sexuality, gender, and power in postwar America. Centered around an adulterous interracial affair in a small Connecticut town between the young black scholar-athlete Link Williams and white, privileged munitions heiress Camilo Sheffield, it is also a fond, incisive community portrait, full of unforgettable minor characters, unexpected humor, and a rich sense of history. Also included in the volume are three of Petry's previously uncollected essays related to the novels and a newly researched chronology of the author's life, prepared with the assistance of her daughter Elisabeth Petry"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000858566 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$vFiction. 000858566 70012 $$aPetry, Ann,$$d1908-1997.$$tStreet. 000858566 70012 $$aPetry, Ann,$$d1908-1997.$$tNarrows. 000858566 7001_ $$aGriffin, Farah Jasmine,$$eeditor. 000858566 830_0 $$aLibrary of America ;$$v314. 000858566 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3531.E933$$iA6$$i2019 000858566 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858566$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858566 980__ $$aBIB 000858566 980__ $$aBOOK
