It's definitely witty, dark, satire and makes you laugh, but not in a hahaha way more like a snicker. I found the characters to be quite the bunch of irreverent, sometimes cringe, insufferable and beautifully flawed people.
My Fave shorts
- Fátima: The Bilquist: A Transformation Story
- Suicide Watch
- Belles Lettres
- The Subject of Consumption
- Whisper to a Scream
I enjoyed how the author showed a range of different nuanced experiences of Black people and the Black experience from a middle and upper class perspective. It does tackle some heavier topics in a satirical way, but check the trigger warnings. Overall it's a good niche selection of shorts.
