The Best American Short Stories 2024 by Heidi Pitlor, Lauren Groff

4.0

This year's favorites:

-"The Magic Bangle" by Shastri Akella
-"Democracy in America" by Allegra Hyde
-"Privilege" by Jim Shepard
-"Mall of America" by Suzanne Wang

I really wish LeVar Burton's podcast was still going, because I think "Mall of America" would fit right in with the stories he usually chose to read.

Alexandra Chang's "Phenotype" was also a standout for the visceral emotions it provoked in me.
