Jollof Rice and Other Revolutions: A Novel in Interlocking Stories by Omolola Ijeoma Ogunyemi

3.0

liked this collection of short stories. it addressed a sore point i typically have with anthologies-just when you're getting into a story, it ends, leaving many questions unanswered. since the stories are interlocking, readers get little updates on characters from earlier stories in the later ones (all the characters have some sort of relationship with each other and in the paperback version there's a chart that depicts all the connections-there's a picture of the chart on the writer's instagram page). it felt like a catch-up sessions for beloved characters sprinkled throughout the collection.

my favourite stories were "Goody Goody" and "Area Boy Rescue"
