Miranda July is so alive and it shows in her writing. The metal bowl is an all time fave, as is her first novel the first bad man.
Mary Gaitskill is a beast. Scary.
Alice Munro—she has about a million collections of short stories, all amazing, methodical, domestic. The Lives of Girls and Women is a good place to start
Toddler Hunting by Taeko Kono is kinky like an empty street in the burbs.

“kitchen-sink realism, told from the perspective of the one stuck doing the dishes.”
explores relationships / gender / desire / detachment / sucker punch pop song / wildly clever n devastatingly prophetic
Alien Daughters Walk Into The Sun - Jackie Wang “An almanac of extreme girlhood” abolition/underground/biking across countries/accidentally falling into success Not so much a collection of short stories but diary entries, tumblr posts, zine archives, “essays“, poems Contents titles are: The Hard-Femme years / The Punk House Years/The Desert Years/The Getting-My-Shit-Together-Years/
I also remember enjoying Jesus’ Son by Denis Johnson!

🌷I made one for summer (kayak, eat corn!) and forgot to make one for fall+winter. Gonna do a spring bucket list (planting, marshy hikes b4 it gets ticky). Doesn’t have to be on theme even but it’s a nice way to engage in the fleeting seasons
