Lost in the City by Edward P. Jones

5.0

Mr. Jones is one of the best writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Short stories are not my jam, but this book's stories swept me into times and neighborhoods that I did not know, despite more than two decades of living in D.C. his man is so deft with his characters, so careful with their hearts and souls, and so expert at drawing them for the reader in only a few pages, that I couldn't help fall in to each story as it came. I can't tell you I can explain each story's meaning to you, but I can feel it and will remember many of them for a long time to come.
