...originality. Smith has a virtuoso talent for capturing dialect, which makes her dialogue almost audible. Belsey's son Levi, a mixed-race child of privilege who takes a weekend job hustling knockoff handbags with Haitian immigrants on the streets of Boston, speaks perfect faux Brooklyn: "This ain't like workin' the counter at CVS! You hustling, man ... That's street." Belsey's southern teaching assistant Smith J.

Just as workin' the line at U.S. Steel was no walk in the park in 1946, passing papers in the tower is no great joy. My dad did it for 41 years at the Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. He was, sad to say, a white-collar indentured servant...
