In Another Brooklyn, she explores the possibility and precariousness of Black girlhood for August and her friends in 1970s New York. This had very sparse, lyrical writing with interesting use of repetition.
But, it sped along too quickly for me. I kept wishing it was slightly more fleshed out, because RATB was so masterful at balancing brevity with deep character studies. This felt like an outline of the pain without the full picture of these characters’ lives.
