How to Pronounce Knife by Souvankham Thammavongsa
4.0

"Beauty was boring. To be ugly was to be particular, memorable, unforgettable even."

Simplistic prose, with a line or two in each story that cuts you to the core. My favourites were Slingshot, Chick-A-Chee, The Universe Would Be So Cruel, and of course the title story, How To Pronounce Knife.
