I was anticipating something remarkable as I waited for weeks to borrow one of the library's copies. The New York Times described it as "a powerful and important and strange and beautiful collection of stories meant to be read right now; this is a dystopian story collection as full of violence as it is of heart." Indeed. Wow. 

Some of the stories are intertwined, while others are a single shot of raw emotion and humanness. While I typically read dystopian tales with trepidation and discomfort, Adjei-Brenyah pulled me in and kept me wanting more. I was transfixed and transported to places I'd never been; my perspectives were both beaten and broadened.

Looking forward to whatever he publishes next. I'm hooked.

I'm sure many will dislike these stories, and perhaps not make it through even one of them. But for those who do: let's talk.

    Good reads, etc.
    My reflections on literature and other things cultural.
    Please note that most of my books come from my local public library either as paper, e-books, or audiobooks.
