No Crystal Stair: A Documentary Novel of the Life and Work of Lewis Michaux, Harlem Bookseller

No Crystal Stair: A Documentary Novel of the Life and Work of Lewis Michaux, Harlem Bookseller - Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, R. Gregory Christie No Crystal Stair is probably the only book I'd want to listen to on Audiobook, because it's told through people's voices, in researched, but fictionally put together, oral history format. My only complaint is that I do wish there were more pictures and illustrations by the wonderful R. Gregory Christie, and a timeline for readers who get distracted in the midpoint of the book (as I did). There is a great bibliography and afterword / notes section at the end. Overall I was thrilled to discover Michaux and his life's work and sad that I hadn't heard of him before.
