Would You Buy a Book of Short Stories by Erykah Badu?

- By

Erykah Badu
“Crocheted Pants and Other Love Spells”

Ms. Badu is known for going deep with her lyrics, but in addition to the “What she say?” head-scratchers, she is also a great storyteller. Couldn’t you just see Tyrone’s punk behind when she was telling us about him?  She has just the right quirky energy and writing ability to pull off  a book full of short stories.  It’d be a mix of J. California Cooper’s magical moments, Sister Souljah’s urban landscapes and Octavia Butler’s other-worldliness.
