Let's Play White by Chesya Burke

3.0

I liked Burke's style and her characters' voices, and how she tackles the weird and horror. In the midst of all the stories "The Unremembered" hit me in the face with the worst disability trope, in this case

Spoiler

an autistic character is actually a griot that inherits the memories of her ancestors and once she learns to deal with them, she's cured (and apparently able to cure others)

. The rest of the collection was solid, with "Purse", "CUE: Change" and "The Teachings and Redemption of Ms. Fannie Lou Mason" among my favorites.
