Peter C Newman
Susan Perly lays down a cool, existential get-it-off coda about jazz, sex and digging the Holy Grail.
Book Description
You have never read a book like Susan Perly's first novel Love Street. Open it anywhere, and out comes the voice of Miss Mercy, late-night radio DJ in New Orleans with her jive talk and old vinyl platters. Sam Cooke, Percy Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Van Morrison, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, war, art, peacetime - Miss Mercy talks to the lonely.
She swings, she bebops, growls, prays, plays blues, soul, jazz, R&B. Miss Mercy is the modern woman of all ages. She is lo-fi, urban, mysterious. She is wacky, she cascades sheets of sound.
Remember when you used to listen to a radio under your pillow? Love Street is a radio novel from that world.
Miss Mercy - the sultry vinyl pirate, the Mistress of the Mike - aims to seduce you. To remind you of the fun of words, to woo you back to the love of reading.
