A review by derekmoodyrutledge
The Women of Brewster Place by Gloria Naylor
5.0
Stunning. A novel of short stories that is still relevant and breathtaking. Tw: racism, sexual assault, sexism, homophobia
To quote Tayari Jones in Lithub: …”The Women of Brewster Place is the type of novel that I like to call a “Swiss Army knife,” as it enriches the curriculum for numerous courses. I assign it for African American Literature, Women’s Literature, Contemporary American Literature, Popular American Literature. The list goes on. On the creative writing syllabus it serves a dual duty—demonstrating great mastery of both the short story and the novel.”
