A review by horizonous
Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.
The collection opens up with a gut punch of a story called "THE FINKELSTEIN 5" and I highly recommend it, beyond that I was more or less completely lost, or in the case of "LARK STREET", repulsed. To me that story striked me as blatantly pro-life with a teenage couple who decides to have an abortion and the two aborted foetuses coming back to guilt-trip the guy for a night.. After that I kept reading because I thought there must be something more to this collection with all the praise it gets, but when I couldn't even get through its titular story I decided, this wasn't for me.
Graphic: Racism, Self harm, Violence, and Abortion
Moderate: Child death, Gore, Gun violence, Blood, and Murder
