ghostmomxoxo's review against another edition
This short story collection was really impactful, and I actually thoroughly enjoyed most of the stories. But then I looked up the author and it turns out she’s *really* into anti-Semitic conspiracy theories (here’s a Vox article that breaks it down: https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/12/20/18146628/alice-walker-david-icke-anti-semitic-new-york-times)
I literally couldn’t pick the book back up after reading all this so here we are.
