Overview: Blue Talk and Love tells the stories of girls and women of color navigating the moods and mazes of urban daily life. Set in various enclaves of New York City including the middle class Hamilton Heights section of Harlem, the black queer social world of the West Village, the Spanish speaking borderland between Harlem and Washington Heights, and historic Tin Pan Alley the collection uses magic realism, historical fiction, satire and more to highlight young black women’s inner lives. The storylines range widely: a big-bodied teenage girl from Harlem discovers her sexuality in the midst of racial tensions at her Upper East Side school; four young women from Newark, New Jersey, are charged with assaulting the man who threatens to rape them; a pair of conjoined black female twins born into slavery, make their fame as stage performers in the Big City. In each story, the characters push past what is expected of them, learning to celebrate their voices and their lives.
