What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah

3.0

This was a series of short stories all with at least a hint of Africa in them...some set in the US and other set in Africa. Some were vaguely traditional or fable in feel, others sci-fi in feel and others just a realistic story. I have found some very memorable and others quite forgetable...my son tells me that the title story is very similar to other sci-fi stories that he knows but I am not well read enough in that genre to know. Overall, I found the stories didn't really hold together perfectly for me and many left me a little cold at the end. I like short stories and liked some of these but didn't fall in love with these.
