kayjay34's review against another edition
3.0
I wanted to like this so badly as I adore Walker's prose, but this essay collection fell short for me. Many letters and stories were quite compelling, but that was a rarity. As well, one essay in particular seems Islamophobic while also including a defense of Farrakhan, who is a known homophobe and anti-Semite. This was very surprising to me, as Walker is such a champion for social justice. Overall, this is a good read and many of her stories feed my soul. However, I'm sure there's better collections of her work out there.
