1. The Bridge of San Luis Rey - Thornton Wilder
2. Basil - Wilkie Collins
3. The Eyes Have It and Other Stories - Philip K. Dick (audiobook)
4. The Colonel’s Dream - Charles W. Chestnutt (audiobook)
5. Black No More - George S. Schuyler (audiobook)
6. The Trees - Percival Everett
I’m not really sure how I feel about this one. I like the concept. The list of names gave me chills (although curious that George Floyd was missing even though this was published a year after his death). I hated the tongue in cheek tone throughout. I guess I feel like it could have been (and should have been) treated with more reverence. And I hate when people who don’t understand the Southern accent try to mimic one. Especially in this case. It was way too OTT. It was torturous.
