The Miniature Wife and Other Stories by Manuel Gonzales
5.0
4.8 Rounded up
Shoutout to whoever donated this to a used bookstore I went into on a whim, I found this there and loved it!
Man, I really needed this collection to remind me that I like reading. The stories had me hooked, the concepts and spec. fiction aspects were good, the flow and inner character monologues and dialog felt extremely natural (and funny at times), and it really made me like reading again.
Highlights (hopefullyI won't reiterate the whole book lol):
Pilot, Copilot, Writer
The titular story (would the phrase "girlboss" fit here? You decide, lol.
The majority of the "A Meritorious Life" stories
The Artist's Voice
The two zombie-themed stories
"Wolf!"
The Disappearance of the Sebali Tribe
& Farewell, Africa
... okay, so I might have just mentioned like 7/10ths of the book, but still, it's really good.
Read this book if you want to get back into reading again. It has a good flow that makes you want to read more!
