A beautiful collection of short stories written many years ago that are still relevant in today’s society.
I wish some of the stories were just a bit longer as they were starting to get interesting at the end.

I already knew I loved William Melvin Kelley's writing to pieces, and this collection only confirmed that. I've become even more impressed with Kelley's talent for capturing the human condition and establishing perfectly well-rounded characters in such a short amount of time. My favourite story out of this collection was probably 'Connie'.
