(3.5 stars)

some interesting stories, some deeply racist


(3 stars)

yeah this guy was a mixed bag. he really treated black and brown people with a lot of contempt, it was disgusting, n-word used at least once. that being said there were some truely worthwhile pieces like little joe gander that was heartwrenching and displayed a surprising amount of empathy for the differently abled. this is just an fyi for those that want to avoid racist literature, definitely a hard pass on that front

it was ok


(3.5 stars)

Thanks to the storyteller's all good readers. Some very good stories some not so good and some poor.
