And I Do Not Forgive You: Stories And Other Revenges

"It’s impossible to pick favorites among 22 stories (“& other revenges”) full of vivid language, compelling imagery, sharp wit and an abiding tenderness. Running the gamut from friendship to hauntings to cult leader boyfriends to forgotten historical figures, none of these stories allow men to have the final say. Evocatively titled (“In Which Athena Designs a Video Game with the Express Purpose of Trolling Her Father,” “Mildly Happy, With Moments of Joy”), each story feels it belongs to the whole, like a track on a curated playlist, but each stands alone so well you’ll want to read it on repeat."
