The Rock Eaters: Stories by Brenda Peynado

2.5

i considered stopping after the first story but had too much hope for improvement, the themes every blurb & synopsis frames as being the core of peynado’s work r the ones she handles the worst: race above all, class & xenophobia close behind.. the best stories in this collection r those that aren’t built on heavy handed extended metaphors & guilt but they r few & far between
