★ 5Samuel Johnson Is Indignant
Lydia Davis
Lydia Davis can do more in two sentences than most writers manage in twenty pages. Tiny, strange, razor-sharp stories.
A Visit from the Goon Squad
Jennifer Egan
Interlinked stories about music, aging, and time — including that famous PowerPoint chapter. Dazzling.

Rachel Khong
Ten stories with premises that shouldn't work — a woman killed by a crocodile on her honeymoon picks out her appearance for the afterlife; a factory worker falls for an AI sex doll — and absolutely do. I've been a Khong fan since Goodbye, Vitamin, and this collection is her at her strangest and most playful.
