An electrifying first novel that shocks by its language, its circumstances, and its brutal honesty, Push recounts a young black street-girl's horrendous and redemptive journey through a Harlem inferno. For Precious Jones, 16 and pregnant with her father's child, miraculous hope appears, and the world begins to open up for her when a courageous, determined teacher bullies, cajoles, and inspires her to learn to read, to define her own feelings, and set them down in a diary.

THE BEST . . . BRILLIANT & INSPIRED!
Revisado: 01-18-25
Heartbreaking & nuanced in every way, this is a stunning audio performance . . . Oscar worthy. We have played this audio book 3 times in the last 24 hours. BTW: We just purchased PUSH's sequel, THE KID.

Miller’s famous autobiographical drama takes place inside the tortured mind of a 40-year-old lawyer. Quentin is haunted by his disastrous affair with a needy sex symbol—a character rumored to be based on Marilyn Monroe, Miller’s second wife.

Genius! A Textbook Lesson in BPD

This can be a tough listen--flashbacks, interior monologues, etc. Nevertheless, Miller extends the lines to all the dots--and creates a dramatic constellation of heartache and grief that flashes fame, fortune and drugs against a toxic political backdrop. Every character is damaged; imagine LONG DAY'S JOURNEY played against the Red Scare. The actress portraying Maggie is phenomenal--sensitive, vulnerable and world-weary--all in a 40 minute progression. In fact, all the actresses are top-drawer. OMG--Quentin's mother and first wife are beyond memorable. I listen to this play at least 2X a week. Miller's MISFITS should have had this power. AFTER THE FALL is a must-buy!
