hopeful inspiring reflective

This was a quick read of a short story collection that had a unique premise - collaboration of authors across countries who had not previously known each other. The resulting short stories, plays, and graphic stories are a fantastic representation of what people can do together even if they don’t know much about each other. I would argue that through these stories, they came together even more.

Considering that this is a school book that I had to read, it wasn’t that bad. Some stories had me actually intrigued, but others made no sense. Overall, it’s not that bad but I wouldn’t chose this book.

My favourite stories were Cat Calls and What a Stone Can't Feel

I'd say it was a very fun one. It's a collection of stories, some with illustrations. The main theme is other-worldy. Strange terminal, time traveller joined a cooking competition, a soul who can transport between inanimate objects, and many more.

I have three favorites: Cast Out, Weft, and What A Stone Can't Feel. It's good, though I didn't read Arctic Light and The Blooming. I don't like sci-fi-ish theme, my brain doesn't have the capacity to comprehend the concept so I decided to skip it.

Possibly the most feminist story collection I've read since Joanna Russ' The Zanzibar Cat. Pushes the boundaries of what anthologies contain and how they tick.

This is what a collection of feminist short stories should look like.

Really good at times, but other times felt like an amateur youth project not a professional endeavor.
