A review by alliethomas88
Elbow Room by James Alan McPherson

4.0

Jame Alan McPherson was the first African American to win the Pulitzer prize for fiction with this collection of short stories in 1978. The stories still feel very relevant today. My favorites were “Why I Like Country Music”, “The Story of a Scar”, “A Loaf of Bread”, “Sense of Story” and the title story “Elbow Room”. This collection does not have the recognition today that it deserves.
