The Best American Short Stories 2018 by Heidi Pitlor, Roxane Gay
5.0
I thoroughly enjoyed this collection. I wish Roxanne Gay was appointed permanent editor because she did a fantastic job of choosing diverse stories by diverse authors that are each, individually, impressive and yet, somehow, cohesive as a collection, effectively smashing the ridiculous (and racist/sexist) notion that prioritizing marginalized voices sacrifices... well... anything.
My favorites were numerous: The Art of Losing, Los Angeles, What Got into Us, Control Negro, A Big True, Suburbia!, The Prairie Wife, Whose Heart I Long to Stop..., What a Terrible Thing is Was
A perfect collection with which to end a tumultuous, chaotic year—collected with care for readers who give a fuck about giving a fuck.
