Beschrijving boek
If Beale Street Could Talk is a love story. That is, two people, both of them young, are at the threshold of their lives, and are discovering that they are each other’s lives. Her name is Tish. She is nineteen. His name is Fonny. He is twenty-two. She is pregnant. He is in jail. He is a sculptor: and both of them are black, in today’s [= the seventies] New York.
Thus, Tish’s terrors for her lover are visible around her every day, in the streets and the faces of New York City; and the unborn baby, growing every hour, mercilessly orchestrates these terrors.
