The Granta Book of the African Short Story by Helon Habila

4.0

The stories I read were good. I love short stories it just transports you shortly into someone's life. It's life observing people from a bench. You only get a slice of their lives and your imagination can draw images of what could have happened before or what will be next. I find it also really good to break my biases. Because my brain automatically makes associations and then as I get to know the characters, the shortcuts gets shredded one by one. Quiet fascinating to witness this happening in the mind.
