Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? by Kathleen Collins
3.0
[3.5 stars]
A nice collection of short stories I would definitely reread. I read this book during a deep dive into Kathleen Collin’s work. Most of the stories are told through the lens of middle to upper class Black folks, many who live in NYC in close proximity to white people in the late 1960s and 70s which was a very interesting time politically.
I particularly love the way she fuses elements of screenwriting into some of these stories, you get a sense that world-building was a integral part of the way she told stories. She does a great job at making her settings and characters feel authentic, complex and intriguing.
