Whose Streets? Is A Ragged, Bracing Protest Document

Whose Streets? Is A Ragged, Bracing Protest Document

LITTLE GOOD CAN COME FROM THE TRAGEDY OF MICHAEL Brown. The 18-year-old unarmed black man was shot to death in the city of Ferguson, Mo., near St. Louis, on Aug. 9, 2014, by white police officer Darren Wilson, who fired 12 bullets. After Brown was killed, his body lay in the street for four hours before being transported to a morgue. A St. Louis County grand jury declined to indict Wilson, and a subsequent Department of Justice investigation concluded that he did not violate Brown’s constitutional rights. But the community knew that a grave wrong had been committed. Citizens gathered in peaceful protest, though in some cases their anger erupted into violence. Sabaah Folayan’s documentary Whose Streets?, co-directed by Damon Davis, is a gritty record of that time and its aftermath. It represents the spirit of something more powerful than a bullet, the seed of something good springing from a terrible and unjust event.

A Man in Full, adapted and redacted

TOM WOLFE'S A MAN IN FULL IS A MASSIVE BOOK, IN MORE ways than one. The 742-page social novel about a swaggering Atlanta real estate mogul, which took Wolfe over a decade to write, sold a jaw-dropping 1.4 million hardcover copies after its publication in 1998. The book's themes-money, power, race, masculinity--are just as grand.

Lost and found in a Russian prison

PRISON IS MORE THAN A PLACE. IT'S ALSO A MINDSET. When I entered Corrective Colony No. 2-or IK-2, in Mordovia, a region more than 300 miles east of Moscow-I flipped a switch in my head. I'm an inmate now, I told myself.
