Bridgett Davis’ The World According to Fannie Davis is one of the books One Book One Bronx is considering for our 2020-2021 book club season. Our sister publication, Mosaic, recently published an interview with Davis and will present a literary lesson plan on Louise Meriwether’s classic Daddy was a Number Runner and Bridgett Davis’ The World According to Fannie Davis, which was recently released in paperback.

This interview was conducted by Eisa Ulen Richardson for Mosaic, "...This is exactly what happened to Bridgett Davis, whose mother, Fannie, worked as a bookie in Detroit during the Motown Era. Fannie provided her family with a lovely home, a well-stocked refrigerator, and closets full of beautiful clothes because she effectively managed her own complex business enterprise."
