this list has been murderous to compile. i'm trying to keep each section limited to contemporary books (aside from 1 patron saint) & to 10 authors in each form. (although i'm sure this will change, i'm already breaking out in hives at the pressure of stunting.) the arrangement is spontaneous. i haven't added any commentary on my choices, but i will if you think it's helpful. i'll be adding more posts over the week/ weeks.

part i: short stories:

i. miranda july: no one belongs here more than you

ii. stacey levine: my horse & other stories / the girl with brown fur

iii. anthony doerr: the shell collector / memory wall

iv. matthew derby: super flat times

v. gary lutz: stories in the worst way / i looked alive

vi. flannery o'connor: a good man is hard to find

viii. angela carter: the bloody chamber

vii. karen russell: st. lucy's home for girls raised by wolves

ix. kelly link: magic for beginners/ stranger things happen

x. victoria lancelotta: here in the world

xi. donald rawley: slow dance on the fault line / tina in the backseat
