Ann Petry and 2 more

Miss Muriel and Other Stories by Ann Petry is a collection of unforgettable narratives that capture the essence of the African American experience since the 1940s.

With a focus on the reluctance of African Americans to seek help from the police, the rage that erupts in a Black man worn down by brutality, and the tyranny that the young can visit on their elders regardless of race, these stories are both timeless and relevant today.

Through the eyes of a young Black girl, we witness her family's growing fears as they struggle to come to terms with the disappearance of their father.

With a keen insight into the human condition, Petry crafts characters that resonate deeply and dilemmas that recur again and again.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of race relations and the resilience of the African American spirit.
