About the Manuscript
Wooden houses and rose gardens give way to crowded rooms and political unrest in The Street. The buildings seem to remember the people who lived in them even after those people are gone. What the narrator makes of that memory is as telling as the supernatural turn.
The story depicts immigrants through hostile stereotypes. The illustrated edition presents it as historical fiction for critical reading, without endorsing those views.
