Stories from the Tenants Downstairs by Sidik Fofana

3.0

I listened to this book on audio. Bahni Turpin NEVER disappoints in making a book come alive. Maybe because of that I enjoyed the story she read the most. Overall it was good. I appreciate the interconnectedness of the stories. The anxiety of the tenants facing gentrification and losing their home was palpable off the page. One way I judge if I like a book of short stories is if I am left wanting to know more about the characters in any given story- I didn't totally get that feeling the way I did with J. California Coopers short stories, but again it's still definitely a worthwhile read. I'll say this though, that teacher certainly got what he deserved ( I said what I said- Period!)
