A truly fantastic collection of short stories! With excellently developed stories and characters, I found myself wanting more from every story in this. There was a particularly great short story about a monument moved from the pedestal, where the public was then invited to sign up to stand up on the pedestal to do whatever they wanted and boy oh boy, all I could think about was our giant Monument pedestal here in Richmond. So much to digest on, with a lot of attention to race and class. I'm not usually the biggest short story fan, but Kelsey Norris has certainly made me more interested in the genre!

Great, great debut. Really looking forward to more from this author.
