Banthology: Stories from Unwanted Nations by Sarah CleaveMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A very short anthology with seven short stories each from a different author from a different country. These countries all appeared on the "Muslim ban" in January 2017 for the newly sitting United States President at that time. The author countries are: Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Iraq and Yemen.
This book shows that people from around the world are more alike than dissimilar. We may have different customs and beliefs, but we all have same emotions. And same desires, such as wanting freedom to be yourself and not be hungry, be safe.
This was a very quick read, easily read in a few hours. Most of the stories are translations. There is only one story from each country. The book feels way to short.
