Love Street Fiction opposites and offsets—poetry that reflectsYou have never read a book like Susan Perlys 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.
