This debut collection of short stories by Alexia Arthurs was pretty amazing. She writes in the context of Jamaicanness in all its iterations: Jamaicans in Jamaica, new immigrants to the US, Americans of Jamaican heritage, Jamaican expats returning to Jamaica. Her stories use the language and culture of Jamaica to talk about race, class, sexuality, and so much more. Each story felt like a snapshot of one universe, a spotlight shone onto the life of a person that I might pass in the street. Looking forward to hearing more from this author in the future!
