4: READ TO ME from... Sonny's Blues but James Baldwin
READ TO ME is the podcast to listen for what we love. Each week, we read something wonderful, and then talk about the power and beauty in the work (which helps us surface it in our own). In this episode, we read two pages in SONNY’S BLUES, an iconic short story by James Baldwin. We meet three characters — the narrator, his brother Sonny, and the bandleader Creole — and we hear Sonny and his bandmates play. I love this writing.
