A review by auntie_em
Lost in the City by Edward P. Jones

3.0

A collection of short stories about African Americans in the shadow of all the granite buildings and monuments, and the power those structures represent, in the city of Washington, D.C. Ordinary people living ordinary lives, this book is full of compelling stories of people who seemed so real to me I had to keep checking that I was reading fiction. This was a valuable glimpse into lives different from my own, yet somehow the same.
