Fat Time and Other Stories (2023)
Jeffery Renard Allen
"In Fat Time, Jeffery Renard Allen's masterful depiction of the Black diaspora and the interior, shadowed lives of African Americans is on full display. From the fantastical and surreal to the darkly comic, each story is like an act of introspection that reveals the hidden spaces within unseen lives-where the unspoken is as loud as the biting utterances of characters pondering 'the word for choices we cannot forgive.' Through Allen's penetrating gaze, we indeed see 'the world is for everything borned' in this amazing brew of violence, rage, whimsy, and heartbreaking humor."
