The Street: A Novel
$13.95
"The Street" by Ann Petry is a remarkable novel, a tour de force in its examinations of what life was like for African Americans in the 1940s. Petry's depiction of Harlem is disquieting and poetic, her story woven with threads drawn from real life. The main character, Lutie Johnson, is an "every woman" who struggles to improve her life despite the forces that are holding her down.

Lutie Johnson is a single mother trying to rise above the life that fate has dealt her. She is separated from a husband who could never find a job and did not appreciate his wife going off to work, and she is trying to raise their son to want more than the life that white people expect from him. She finds an apartment of her own on 116th Street in Harlem, and even though it is a dirty, filthy trap, it is a place of her own where she could maybe save enough money to get to somewhere better. But Lutie soon learns that the street has other plans for her and that evil lurks at every corner. Anything she tries to improve her situation is thrown back in her face, and as the novel builds towards a certain doom, Lutie must make a decision to stand firm or compromise everything she has always believed in.

What makes "The Street" so unique is Ann Petry's use of personification and metaphor to bring her setting to life. The "street" that traps Lutie and her son is a character that lives and breathes, that pursues and traps them. Petry's examination of racial dissonance and inequality is intelligent and poignant. She paints a grim picture of what it was like to be African American and poor. Much as with Richard Wright's "Native Son," readers know that no satisfying happy ending could await Lutie Johnson, who is very much a victim of her environment. Yet it is an environment that is forged by segregation, an environment that could exist on any street in New York, not just in Harlem. It is an environment that sadly still exists today, which makes Petry's novel a timeless classic, and perhaps a prophetic warning.
