*Anjali Sachdeva* # Progressive Summary This is the best short story collection I've read since Ted Chiang's Stories of Your Life and Others. Every single story is tight and well-crafted. She manages to stick the landing with every last line. Although she's a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop, her writing is far more engaging than the usual New Yorker-fare. She also covers an impressive range of tones and genres - dystopia, magical realism, mythic, folk-loric. I'm curious what she'll come out with next. # Definitions # Chapter Notes # Quotes # References
