The shortest analysis I've ever written: "Strange Fruit" by Yah Yah Schofield

"Strange Fruit" by Yah Yah Scholfield takes the Billie Holliday song by the same name and runs with it. It extends the song's metaphor of a lynched black body, hanging from a tree in the American South, as a kind of fruit the tree has produced. In the story, an entire community of agricultural workers of color works to harvest the "fruit." A very short story, its development of the metaphor ends quickly, and in the end, it produces a brief, albeit jarring, patchwork of images.
