The Best American Short Stories 2018 by Heidi Pitlor, Roxane Gay

5.0

Yes, this collection is exactly as diverse as you'd expect with Roxanne Gay making the selection. But not just because they represent the mind boggling variety of individuals out there (and I'm sure this is in fact more reflective of the actual variety of voices out there). These are simply all magnificent short stories, not the usual 50/50 like-too-dislike ratio in short story collections in my experience. There was only one where I thought, 'meh'. I've inhabited so many versions of American lives in this book, it was a splendid ride!
