I know if I had read this when I was younger I would have ate it up, looking for themes and literary devices.
Some of the short stories stood out to me more than others, many of them are alive of life stories about black people’s experiences during the Harlem renaissance and are set in eatonville, Florida or Harlem, New York. Many of the stories also explore marriages. While some of the actions and topics might have people raising their eyebrows they are very much applicable for the time in which the stories are set.
