This is a solid collection of short stories. Usually, short story collections have a low hit rate for me, but with the exception of one (Alcatraz) I liked all of these stories. The novella by the same title of this book was especially powerful, insightful, and interesting. I also want to highlight how much I loved Boys Go To Jupiter and Anything Could Disappear.

These are stories about the African American experience, about Black history, about white supremacy, and how about class, race, and gender affect the trajectory of one's life. It's topical and relevant. I recommend it!
