Reflection on Heads of the Colored People by Nafisa Thompson-Spires

               This is a very weird book. It reminded me of season one of the Office with how uncomfortable it made me. It is a collection of several stories, some featuring the same characters as others, some totally different, but all featuring disturbing elements. There is one about a woman contemplating suicide, another about two office deskmates who engage in passive-aggressive war, another about a woman who is obsessed with men with no legs, and the list goes on. All of them have African American main characters and most touch on race in some way or another, probably all. It’s a good, short book.
