About Brit's Collection

"When I first started thinking about 'Some People Have Real Problems,' I wanted to challenge myself to write a story that took place in a compressed timeline: the minutes between train stops. Because the story is so interior, I was inspired by these contemporary books, which all delve deeply into the beautiful, messy, and complex inner lives of Black women." —Brit Bennett
