"Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun" by Sarah Ladipo Manyika follows the life of Morayo Da Silva, a Nigerian woman in San Francisco, as she navigates aging, friendship, and the complexities of desire. With elegant prose and seamless shifts between past and present, the story explores themes of independence, human connections, and the desires of an older woman.
