Pen America Best Debut Short Stories 2017 by

3.0

Most of the stories in this collection left me wanting a little more of them, but I'm excited by the idea of the collection and the diversity of voices represented. Laura Chow Reeve's "1000-Year-Old Ghosts" is a stunner and I think worth the price of admission. Emily Chammah's "Tell Me, Please" didn't quite deliver (for me, anyway) but the characters stuck with me. Definitely looking forward to the 2018 edition.
