A few years ago, I undertook a challenge of reading a short story every day for an entire year (it’s a New Year’s resolution I’d highly recommend, and one I really should embark on once more in 2022). I actively sought voices I’d not connected with before, or classics that had escaped my attention, or works by debut writers that might have slipped under my radar. This is my anthology of a selection of short stories I read that year and want to share with others.
