The Decameron Project: 29 New Stories from the Pandemic
by The New York Times
"They search for things:
where is protest
safe to protest
how to protest
They realize:
Community is how it spreads.
Community is how it is solved.
They will keep going. Emerge from their boxes in boxes in boxes into sunlight. Cycles resuming. They will transmit messages to each other. Some of them will be confused. Some of them will share food. They will make more and more and more. Some of them will die. Some of them will be hungry. Some of them will be alone.
The systems will be the systems. But some of them may change the systems. Rebuild them. Make new patterns." - Systems, by Charles Yu
Like all short story collections, I enjoyed some more than others. For the first time in a while, I enjoyed most of them! I almost DNFd Margaret Atwood's piece. Mona Awad, Tommy Orange, Edwidge Danticat, Charles Yu, Laila Lalami gave my favorite submissions. And as usual, Rivers Solomon's will haunt me.
