Stories from the Tenants Downstairs

by
Sidik Fofana

published in

2022
Cover art
May 31, 2023 Coleman M says:
Sidik Fofana's masterful storytelling delivers high stakes, compelling relationships and, rarest of all, kid characters who actually sound like kids.
Eight interconnected stories follow the tenants in the Banneker Homes, a low-income high rise in Harlem where gentrification weighs on everyone's mind, as they weave in and out of each other's lives, endeavoring to escape their pasts and forge new paths forward.

Headshot of Coleman M

Coleman M

I'm a librarian who loves reading literary books, environmental treatises, short stories, calls to social action, graphic novels and anything with a dark sense of humor. When I'm not helping library patrons, you can find me debating the merits of Star Wars, feeding my YouTube addiction or attempting to emulate my favorite authors by writing stories of my own.
