My Soul Looks Back By: Jessica B Harris [Audiobook]

Author: Jessica B. Harris
Narrated by: Jessica B. Harris

In the Technicolor glow of the early 70s, Jessica B. Harris debated, celebrated, and danced her way from the jazz clubs of the Manhattan’s West Side to the restaurants of the Village, living out her buoyant youth alongside the great minds of the day – luminaries like Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. My Soul Looks Back is her paean to that fascinating social circle and the depth of their shared commitment to activism, intellectual engagement, and each other.

Harris paints evocative portraits of her illustrious friends: Baldwin as he read aloud an early draft of If Beale Street Could Talk, Angelou cooking in her California kitchen, and Morrison relaxing at Baldwin’s house in Provence. Harris describes her role as theater critic for the New York Amsterdam News and editor at then burgeoning Essence magazine; star-studded parties in the South of France; drinks at Mikell’s, a hip West Side club; and the simple joy these extraordinary people took in each other’s company. The book is framed by Harris’ relationship with Sam Floyd, a fellow professor at Queens College, who introduced her to Baldwin. More than a memoir of friendship and first love, My Soul Looks Back is a carefully crafted, intimately understood homage to a bygone era and the people that made it so remarkable.

Book Description
================
In the Technicolor glow of the early 70s, Jessica B. Harris debated, 
celebrated, and danced her way from the jazz clubs of the Manhattan's 
West Side to the restaurants of the Village, living out her buoyant 
youth alongside the great minds of the day - luminaries like Maya Angelou, 
James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. My Soul Looks Back is her paean to 
that fascinating social circle and the depth of their shared commitment 
to activism, intellectual engagement, and each other.
Harris paints evocative portraits of her illustrious friends: Baldwin 
as he read aloud an early draft of If Beale Street Could Talk, Angelou 
cooking in her California kitchen, and Morrison relaxing at Baldwin's 
house in Provence. Harris describes her role as theater critic for the 
New York Amsterdam News and editor at then burgeoning Essence magazine; 
star-studded parties in the South of France; drinks at Mikell's, a hip 
West Side club; and the simple joy these extraordinary people took in 
each other's company. The book is framed by Harris' relationship with 
Sam Floyd, a fellow professor at Queens College, who introduced her 
to Baldwin. More than a memoir of friendship and first love, My Soul 
Looks Back is a carefully crafted, intimately understood homage to a 
bygone era and the people that made it so remarkable.
