2.0

I find it incredibly hard to review short stories. For the most part these weren’t very memorable but it was a very quick read which was nice.

Interiors

"…the fire burned my hair, my clothes, my violin. Nature is beautiful that way . . . she leaves you with nothing to say…"

"He opened her wide and the dawn came in."

Whatever Happened to Interracial Love?

"He does not seem to understand that this young colored woman he has spawned does not, herself, believe in color: that to her the young freedom rider of her dreams is colorless (as indeed he is), that their feelings begin where color ends (as indeed they must), that if only he could understand that race as an issue, race as a social factor, race as a political or economic stumbling block—race is part of the past."
"Can’t he see that love is color-free?"

"When Love Withers All of Life Cries"

"Reasons are like smiles, man, useless games people play."
