AngelOfHarlem

Their Eyes Were Watching God | Zora Neale Hurston

I still need to read the tagged book (and feel generally “poorly read” when it comes to most authors of The Harlem Renaissance 😬).

X: A Novel | Ilyasah Shabazz

Malcolm X #AngelOfHarlem
Really enjoyed this fictionalised telling of Malcolm‘s early life, which is based on known facts and is also written by his daughter. Quite an interesting early life! Do thoroughly recommend it.

TrishB Stacked - sounds good 👍🏻 6y

Andrew65 @TrishB I did it in audio, read by his daughter, and really enjoyed it. Just a shame it only covered his early life. 6y

Moray_Reads Bought this today. Looking forward to it 6y

Falling Angel: A Novel | William Hjortsberg

#winterwonderland #angelofharlem
After seeing the brill posts so far esp ref the wonderful billie holliday i had to try and think of something. I saw the film yrs ago when rourke was handsome, harry angel detective, & de niro made good films +was the devil. But i looked up the book and it is now one i have to read, looks great - in searching the author mentions the seedy 50s ny he set the book in incl the 'long gone huberts flea circu harlem'.

TrishB Oh I loved this film! And I don‘t say that very often. 6y

andrew61 @TrishB yes so did i although watched it on video in the 80's so definitely need to watch it again. 6y

Cathythoughts Mickey Rourke & Robert DeNiro ?? I may never see the movie , but I‘ll stack the book 👍🏻👍🏻 6y

andrew61 @Cathythoughts having read description i think it would fit in with the john conolly feel - im definitely going to read. 6y

TrishB @Cathythoughts I agree with @andrew61 - definitely a Connolly vibe! 6y

The Street | Ann Petry

There were men who thought Lutie Johnson was the #angelofharlem, but she just wanted to raise her son in peace. #winterwonderland @TrishB @Cinfhen

Cinfhen I‘m feeling anxious from your little blurb 😞feeling something sinister 🥺 6y

TrishB Loving the cover 💕 6y

Lcsmcat @Cinfhen It‘s not exactly a happy-ever-after book, but it‘s so well written and so important! 6y

batsy I really want to read this. Love the vintage cover. 6y

Goodfellowe House: Lanie Price, #1 | Persia Walker

Has anyone read Persia Walker? Her name keeps popping up when I‘m looking for challenge reads for next year. She writes crime novels, set in jazz-age Harlem. Think I may have to give them a go.

#angelofharlem #winterwonderland @Cinfhen @TrishB

AlaMich Ha! Not only does this author sound intriguing and stackable, her main character and I share the same name (Lanie/Lainie, a very uncommon one). 😊 6y

Cinfhen This book cover is striking 💜 6y

rockpools @AlaMich 😁Well it was obviously meant to be! I don‘t think I‘ve ever met a Lainie 👋 6y
