Another great edition from The Best American series. Some stories grabbed me more than others, but that’s always the case with collections like this.

A handful of darlings, but more subjective taste than objective strengths.

As with all short story collections, I liked some and didn’t like others.
Favorites were A Ravishing Sun, Sugar Island, Bears Among the Living, and Ten Year Affair.
