What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky

Not a fan of this story.

For the Read Harder Challenge 2017: Read a collection of stories by a woman. I am not usually a fan of short stories, but this was quirky, moving, and full of interesting twists.

So many great collections of short stories lately. This book is incredible. “Windfalls” and “Who Will Greet You at Home” feel like snippets from much larger stories. Arimah manages to switch from modern day to futuristic dystopian to mythology without missing a beat. I'll be preordering her novel.

So, so, so good. Instant “to reread” designation.

“There is this thing that distance does where it subtracts warmth and context and history and each finds that they're arguing with a stranger.”
