- Afterparties by Anthony Veasna So. (Ecco) 22 Rave • 5 Positive • 1 Mixed. “The presence of the author is so vivid in Afterparties, Anthony Veasna So’s collection of stories, he seems to be at your elbow as you read … The personality that animates Afterparties is unmistakably youthful, and the stories themselves are mainly built around conditions of youth—vexed and tender relationships with parents, awkward romances, nebulous worries about the future.
- Filthy Animals by Brandon Taylor. (Riverhead) 19 Rave • 7 Positive • 2 Mixed. Read an interview with Brandon Taylor here. “Taylor plays the Lionel-Charles-Sophie storyline for all its awkwardness and resentment, but it can feel like a note held too long to suspend commitment, which is the resolution we’re trained to expect … The violence is neither glamorous nor gratuitous; it is senseless without being pointless.
- First Person Singular by Haruki Murakami. (Knopf) 13 Rave • 17 Positive • 7 Mixed • 5 Pan. “… a blazing and brilliant return to form … a taut and tight, suspenseful and spellbinding, witty and wonderful group of eight stories … there isn’t a weak one in the bunch.
- That Old Country Music by Kevin Barry. (Doubleday) 13 Rave • 10 Positive •1 Mixed. “There’s not a bad story in the bunch, and it’s as accomplished a book as Barry has ever written … Barry does an excellent job probing the psyche of his diffident protagonist, and ends the story with an unexpected moment of sweetness that’s anything but cloying—realism doesn’t need to be miserablism, he seems to hint; sometimes things actually do work out … Barry has a rare gift for crafting characters the reader cares about despite their flaws; in just 13 pages, he manages to make Hannah and Setanta come to life through sharp dialogue and keen observations … Barry proves to be a master of writing about both love and cruelty … Barry brilliantly evokes both the good and bad sides of love, and does so with stunningly gorgeous writing … There’s not an aspect of writing that Barry doesn’t excel at.

- “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl. While not exactly a philosophical or political tale like our first two examples, this twisty short story from Dahl does delve into some shady moral territory.
- “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. A perennial feature in many a high school syllabus, Shirley Jackson’s best-known short story clinically details an unusual ritual that takes place in a small town.
- “How to Become a Writer” by Lorrie Moore. Told in the second person point of view, this story from Moore’s debut anthology Self-Help takes an honest look at the inner life of a struggling artist.
- “Cat Person” by Kristen Roupenian. In the Social Media Age, no short story has gone viral the way this New Yorker contribution from Roupenian has. Arriving at the height of #MeToo, it begins with 20-year-old Margot embarking on the early stages of flirtation with an older man, Robert.

- Bliss Montage by Ling Ma. (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) 21 Rave • 5 Positive • 2 Mixed. Read an interview with Ling Ma here. “The eight wily tales mark the return of an author whose inventive debut, Severance, urgently announced her as a writer worth watching … an assured follow-up, a striking collection that peddles in the uncanny and the surreal, but it often lacks Severance’s zest.
- Liberation Day by George Saunders. (Random House) 16 Rave • 6 Positive • 5 Mixed (86) Read George Saunders on reading chaotically and the power of generous teachers, here.
- Homesickness by Colin Barrett. (Grove Press) 16 Rave • 1 Positive • 1 Mixed. Read an essay by Colin Barrett here. “Its comedy stands in balance to the collection’s more tragic tenor … expands [Barrett’s] range, and though the first took place in the fictional Irish town of Glanbeigh, the books share a fabric shot through with dark humor, pitch-perfect dialogue and a signature freshness that makes life palpable on the page.
- Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim Fu. (Tin House) 13 Rave • 4 Positive. Read a story from Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century here. “..
