IT WAS THE WAY SHE SAID IT Short Stories, Essays, and Wisdom

Christopher Grant and Golden Voice Robin Miles jointly narrate this expansive collection of work by groundbreaking author Terry McMillan. Included are both published and unpublished works of short fiction, as well as an intriguing assortment of essays, speeches, and literary sketches. Miles, the primary narrator, moves seamlessly among McMillan's characters as she traces a path through the development of her distinctive authorial voice. Miles also brings verve and power to essays about Rodney King, O.J. Simpson, and more. Christopher Grant's narration of several stories with male protagonists is subtle and moving, especially in the piece titled "Walk-By," which may develop into a future novel. Grant also narrates the foreword by poet and novelist Ishmael Reed, who once taught McMillan in his writing workshops. N.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
