Love Street Fiction The poems in Crossing theYou 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. She swings, she bebops, growls, prays, plays blues, soul, jazz, R&B. Miss Mercy is the modern woman of all ages.
