From Good Reads These are incisive and intimate portraits of African American families in everyday moments of anxiety and crisis that look at how they use agency to navigate their predicaments. As much a social and historical document as it is a taut, engrossing collection,  Neighbors  is an exceptional literary feat from a crucial once-lost figure of letters. I read the Kindle book along with this copy (sparingly). These short stories were thought provoking and amazing.
