Title: Naylor has bailed
Product review: In The Women of Brewster Place, Etta Mae exclaims that "All good men are either dead or waiting to be born." The stories of The Two, Ceil, Mattie and the others proved this. There were no good men at Brewster Place, except maybe Ben, who ironically is killed. Now in The Men of Brewster Place, we find out that these men were really good men, in search of their manhood. This is a disappointment, Naylor seems to be softening in her age, and no longer feels the need to defend her women. These men did not need defending, in my mind they had no excuse for what they did. Brewster Place exists because of the women,their dreams, their community, not because of the men, who only beat them up or abandoned them.
