À propos de cet audio

“Petry is the writer we have been waiting for, hers are the stories we need to fully illuminate the questions of our moment.” -(Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage)

A rare, previously unpublished short story by Ann Petry (1908-1997), one of America’s most distinguished African American writers.

On a snowy Christmas Eve in an unnamed American city, the archangel Michael wanders the streets. He is alone and hungry, his clothes tattered, and when he sees his face reflected in a store window, it is that of a young African American boy. Who will offer him food and shelter and who will turn him away? And when he becomes a blonde, freckle-faced child, is his fate different? Ann Petry’s beautiful fable reveals all her gifts as a storyteller and a sage.

Throughout the entire story, I was wishing so deeply that I could experience what was happening. I don't want to divulge too much for fear of creating a spoiler but it's a short story, only a few minutes long and I promise you it will be well worth your time. It was absolutely magnificent. At least to me.

I cried!

Not a subtle tale. It feels like this is a tale from the 1960s, it definitely is not contemporary.
