I guess Sci-fi comes the closest to describing these stories. A very creative, outside the box type writer who I had never heard of before. Now I plan to read more by Sarah Pinsker.
The Piano Lesson by August Wilson (6/13)
My first time reading anything by August Wilson. I liked it a lot. This is a play so it's almost all dialogue, but great dialogue to read on the page.
Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century - Kim Fu (6/19)
Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century - Kim Fu (6/19)
This collection was similar to the Sarah Pinsker book of short stories mentioned above. I didn't love everything about it, but overall it was enjoyable.
Smoketown - The Untold Story of the Other Great Black Renaissance by Mark Whitaker (6/28)
Smoketown - The Untold Story of the Other Great Black Renaissance by Mark Whitaker (6/28)
I was inspired to read this after learning about August Wilson. Covers Pittsburgh sports, music, writers, journalists, industry, and more. You'd think a history book such as this might be a little dry, but it held my interest throughout.
