“So many firsts.“

 

Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Jamie, Jud, and Torie.  After discussing Kaitlyn/Colin nuptials and cars they shockingly move quickly to book topics.  Is “The Great Gatsby” the great American novel?  Is there really a great American novel?   COB alum and fave  Victoria Christopher Murray zooms in to share “Harlem Rhapsody,” the story of Jesse Redmon Fauset, the “literary midwife” of the Harlem Renaissance.  Victoria’s the perfect person to write about the woman at the heart of a cultural renaissance.
