Each Brick in This Wall: Hanif Abdurraqib on Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place | Reading Writers
Charlotte and Jo spring into the new year with a conversation about ancient poetry: Beowulf, The Iliad, and Dante’s Inferno as translated by Mark Musa, Mary Jo Bang, and Danny Lavery. They’re then joined by the wise and wonderful Hanif Abdurraqib who—after sharing a scoop about what series of book he reads every year (!)—reflects on the formative impacts of his encounter with Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place. Other titles discussed: Toni Morrison’s Jazz, Bebe Moore Campbells’ Your Blues Ain’t Like Mine, Lloyd Alexander’s The Chronicles of Prydain.
Hanif Abdurraqib is a writer from the east side of Columbus, Ohio.
Danny Lavery’s translations of The Inferno can be found here.
