25 Random Things About Me

A friend recently sent me a “Memory” of hers that popped up on Facebook. It was something I’d tagged her with ten years ago. What’s still the same? she asked me. What has changed? Here’s my answer.

A good story. A shame about the sloppy editing. Last pages not quite as satisfying as most of the book.

3.5 Interesting glimpses into life in post-war Liberia and its effects on individuals in its aftermath. It would be interesting to know why no women submitted stories. Ade, Elfreda, Watchen, can you tell me?
