The collection comprising JAMEL BRINKLEY‘s Witness: Stories are set in New York City and feature a range of characters – from children to grandmothers­ – living the responsibility of perceiving and the moral challenge of speaking up or taking action. RU FREEMAN addresses subjects as diverse as Bowie and Dylan, personal and cultural identity, and #MeToo in Bon Courage: Essays on Inheritance, Citizenship, and a Creative Life, and explores crossing borders, both real and imagined, in Sleeping Alone: Stories. And in his debut collection, The Best Possible Experience: Stories, NISHANTH INJAM paints a fascinating portrait of contemporary India and its diaspora and is a yearning rendering of the people and places we call home. The Best Possible Experience is a universal inquiry into the idea of belonging, and that home is not a place so much as a people ready to accept you as you are.
