Let's Play White di Chesya Burke
Overall Satisfaction: ★★★
Intellectual Satisfaction: ★★1/2
Emotional Satisfaction: ★★★1/2
Read this for: The atmosphere, the characters
Don't read this for: The prose
Bechdel Test: Pass
Johnson Test: Pass
Books I was reminded of: Shirley Jackson's short fiction.
Will I read more by this author? Maybe.

This was an extremely uneven collection of short stories. The best of them were absolutely stunning, heart-wrenching and thought-provoking. The worst were clunky, unsubtle, and lost their power (for me at least) as a result. All of the stories had some sort of fantastic element; unfortunately, the fantastic element seemed more likely to weaken the story than strengthen it. Still, good and bad, it's a collection very much concerned with power dynamics within families, between men and women, between poor and rich (or sometimes only less-poor), and between blacks and whites; themes I am always interested in and happy to see explored in fiction.
