In conjunction with the" Deal me in Challenge", I've decided to also start reading more short-stories published in The New Yorker. Since I don't read a lot of contemporary fiction these days, this could be a good opportunity to expose myself to new writers that otherwise would not be on my radar.
This would all be very chill with no rigid rules here—just me, a growing list of stories, and a goal to read at least one each month. If I manage that, I’ll consider it a literary victory (and probably reward myself with a cookie or something equally motivating). Feel free to join in if this challenge interests you at all and I'm happy for any recommendations.
Selections:
- Ming by Han Ong
- Consolation by Andre Alexis
- Allah Have Mercy by Mohammed Naseehu
- Incoming by Teju Cole
- The Books of Losing You by Junot Diaz (Flash fiction series)
