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

3.75

I really liked most of the stories in this collection. Three were ones I'd read and enjoyed previously: "Blessed Deliverance" by Jamel Brinkley, "Phenotype" by Alexandra Chang, and "P's Parties" by jhumpa Lahiri. Of the rest, my favorites were Steven Duong's "Dorchester", "Seeing Through Maps" by Madeline Ffitch, "Viola in Midwinter" by Marie-Helene Bertino. But probably my two favorites were "A Case Study" by Daniel Mason, about a man's visits to a psychologist, and "Mall of America" by Suzanne Wang, about a shopping mall AI and an immigrant grandfather.
