Gorilla, My Love by Toni Cade Bambara

3.0

---

Superbly written. Each story appeals to raw human emotion and gives the reader just enough time to get to know the characters in each short story before moving on to the next one. This thus allows the reader to see pieces of himself in each of the protagonists. Written in the vernacular, her use of language adds life to her story but also makes it more taxing to read. Its a book that should not be rushed, or the reader may become agitated by the effort it requires to read her unique style of writing.
