Great story collection. Glad Oliver is being rediscovered. So talented, such potential. To think what she could have written had she not died so young. #BOTM

Started this short story collection. I really like her writing so far.
Author Diane Oliver died at 22 in a 1966 motorcycle accident. She had 4 published short stories then 3 more posthumously. Now 14 of her stories are published together and provide her contemporary look at racism playing out in the 1960s, a raw and intimate look of the everyday moments of disparate African American families. I can only imagine the works Diane would‘ve completed, and bravo to those who decided to publish her collection in 2024.
