The Best American Short Stories 2018 by Heidi Pitlor, Roxane Gay
4.0
This was such a strong and salient collection of stories and all really different. I love that Roxane Gay chose stories to collectively represent & explore America as it is now (in all its horrific dysfunction) rather than just choose some great short stories.
My favorites, in order of appearance:
-Boys Go to Jupiter
-Everything is Far from Here
-Control Negro
-The Brothers Brujo
-Items Awaiting Protective Enclosure
-Whose Heart I Long to Stop with the Click of a Revolver
-What Terrible Thing It Was
The authors' explanations of their inspiration for the selected stories were the perfect palate cleansers between stories!
