POETRY AND PROSE COLLIDE IN “AUDACITY”: BOOK REVIEW
Melanie Crowder’s Audacity is inspired by the real-life story of Clara Lemlich, a Russian emigrant who arrived in New York at the turn of the twentieth century and left her legacy in the United States as a tireless fighter for equal rights. The book was a finalist in 2015 for the National Jewish Book Award.
NYLHA is pleased to share Joshua Barnett’s review of Crowder’s book as our final book review of October. Be on the lookout for more reviews throughout the rest of the year, in addition to more information on the upcoming Commerford Awards virtual reception.
