Among the Wild Mulattos and Other Tales by Tom WilliamsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Like most story collections there are some good stories in here and there are some forgettable ones. Luckily, no awful ones, and the good ones were really quite good. Several of the better ones deal with what it is to be an American in the age of social media, where everyone wants to be famous or a least popular in their social circle. Williams explores what we’re willing to do for “fame” and success as well as the other extreme of simply opting out. Favorites include “The Story of My Novel: Three Piece Combo with Drink”; “Movie Star Entrances”; “The Lessons of Effacement”; and “Among the Wild Mulattos”.
