I got a hold of a copy of this massive non fiction work and am revving up my motor to drive though it. The book itself is over 600 pages of small print, but about half of these pages are devoted to a long introduction, author notes, an extensive index and bibliography, acknowledgements, photographs, and excerpts from other sources, etc. I am a Harlem Renaissance buff, perennially fascinated with an era that not only focuses on the life and times of the fledgling black artistic community but also calls attention to the historical backdrop this movement was set against. The 1920s and 30s were such an interesting period in this country not only in regard to the blatant racism but to the blooming aestheticism that neither the gloom of the Great Depression or the illicitness of Prohibition could deter. The output of Literature, Drama, Art and Music indigenous to America all came into their own during this time. So far I am finding "Miss Anne In Harlem" quite engrossing.

It took you only 20 minutes to go from granny to Mob Wife? Lol.... Diane Nyad isn't the only woman over 60 who can break records.
