This is book #2 of 2023. The Awkward Black Man by Walter Mosley.

This is a collection of short stories where the protagonist is…… an awkward black man.  They range from a young man with autism to a mad scientist to a young man finding his true paternity. 

I really enjoyed all of the stories, but I feel that “Pet Fly”, “The Black Woman in the Chinese Hat” and “Reply to a Dead Man” resonated with me the most. 

I do recommend and wonder which takes you liked best. 3.5/5
