LaKeisha and the Dirty Girl

About this book

Part of a series of books originally published by McSweeney’s 28 in a single beribboned case, exploring the state of the fable—those astute and irreducible allegories one doesn’t see so much anymore in our strange new age, when everyone is wild for the latest parable or apologue but can’t find time for anything else. Tayari Jones' "LaKeisha and the Dirty Girl" tells the tale of LaKeisha Shauntelle Anderson, a very lovely girl who owned everything her heart desired - and hers was a heart with quite an appetite.
