Bookstores recommend books: Milkweed on 'The Street'

"The Street," by Ann Petry. Maybe the most psychologically fearless, vividly detailed, devastating book I've ever read. I chose a literary life because of this book. Petry is an unflinching, unsung, great American writer. — Daley Farr, bookseller and events coordinator for Milkweed Books in Minneapolis.
