The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans
5.0
Danielle Evans has written a collection of short stories that each end the way you know they need to end, but you don’t want to admit they need to end that way. The kind of endings you reread because either it’s so shocking, or because reading such an honest, real accounts of fictional human nature is both unnerving and stunning.
Pay close attention to the themes of the dissonant stories we create in both past and future tense, as well as the portraiture of the “good” White woman, and ultimately (as Evans says) “grief and loss, and about women unwilling to diminish their desires to live full and complex lives.”
