Why I Live at the P.P. and Other Stories

Four short stories published as a Penguin 60s book.

Seldom do I find myself reading a story I find no connection with - of course normally I don't attempt read books that look like they are heading that way - but this short book had four of them!

Probably I am too far removed from the time and the place, and I willingly admit that I know little about the politics and race relations of the time in order to appreciate this.

For me the first (title) story was a nothing that went nowhere. A mundane gossip fuelled and sniping family on the 4th of July. The second was similarly a nonentity for me. The third I couldn't make sense of and the last was just a pointless few page long story.

Sorry, not for me!
