Marrakech Noir by Yassin Adnan

I'm still on the fence about how I truly feel about this book. It didn't quite hit the mark for me. Some stories did catch my interest, like the one about the author travelling to work on Mars and the story of the Nigerian girl from Lagos. These particular narratives resonated with me, perhaps because I, too, am a writer, and hail from Nigeria.

I'm not convinced that the issue for me lies in having multiple short stories tho. Instead, it might be in how they were all organized? Perhaps it would be wise for me to explore other books in this series from countries that feel more familiar to me first, giving me a chance to settle into the storytelling style before diving into new settings.
