What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah

5.0

I was intrigued by this book from the start because "What it Means When a Man Falls from the Sky" is a fantastic title that immediately enticed me. Also, I got to hear the title short story on a Levar Burton Reads podcast which was phenomenal—both Levar and the story, of course!

The worlds/characters/concepts Lesley Nneka Arimah dreams up and the way she writes is nothing short of magical. Each story was newly imaginative and yet was still anchored in a truth, often disturbing while also somehow comforting. Empathy is increased as an accidental side effect of a great story. Whatever this genre is, it is my favorite!
