What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi

5.0

I’ve struggled with some of the classic magic realists in the past, despite loving a good Jorge Luis Borges tale. Perhaps that’s what I like about Oyeyemi’s stories: their generally efficient word use to approach difficult subjects that are not easily contained by language. Definitely would like to read more shorts if she has them (this was my first foray into her body of work).
