href="https://www.instagram.com/spinesvines/?hl=en">Jamise Harper</a> is a richly illustrated and vastly inclusive collection that uplifts the works of authors who are often underrepresented in the literary world. Published by Chronicle Books and coming November 2nd, this essential volume is filled with treasures for every reader looking to diversify their reading list, expand their world, and shift their perspective.</h5> <p>Below, find classics written by BIPOC authors, all available in audiobook format excerpted from <a href="bibliophile: Diverse Spines"><em>Bibliophile: Diverse Spines</em></a>. But first, we had to ask the authors themselves which classics are their personal favorites!</p> <p>Jamise Harper particularly loves <em><a href="https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780358539438-the-street">The Street</a></em> by Ann Petry: “It is a classic American fiction novel that should be required reading. Published in 1946, <em>The Street</em> became the first novel by an African-American woman to sell more than a million copies. It is a timeless story and haunting exploration into the world of Lutie Johnson as she struggles to survive in the midst of poverty, racism, violence, and sexism while raising her son in 1940’s Harlem.”</p> <p>Jane Mount finds solace in <em><a href="https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780739322819">The House on Mango Street</a></em> by Sandra Cisneros<em>:</em> “It was published in 1984 (not that long ago!), and tells the story of 12-year-old Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago. Cisneros perfectly captures adolescence, reminding you what it felt like to be almost an adult, and almost a woman, yearning to grow up but also dreading it. Esperanza’s struggles are very real (poverty, the patriarchy, other people’s presumptions and prejudices), but she navigates through them, learning as she goes, and forging her true self.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-left">Now, onto the classics.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://blog.libro.fm/wp-content/uploads/9781797211916.pt06-copy-1400x1400.jpg" alt="Photo of the book Bibliophile Diverse Spines, which features an illustrated bookstack on the cover.

The story follows the daily struggles of Lucite Johnson, a Black single mother of an eight-year-old son, striving for the “American Dream” amid racism, poverty, and the violent streets of Harlem.
