The Protester Has Been Released by Janet Sarbanes

5.0

Honestly? Holy shit. Simple but profound is the best way to describe these stories; I came away from a lot of them like I had just read a novel I was intensely invested in even if the story was only 20 pages. These stories are all marked by environmentalism and disaster and the way art can sustain us in times of tragedy. My favorites were "Ars Longa," "The Protester Has Been Released," and, most of all, "The First Daughter Finds Her Way," which is subversive and strange and complex. I love collections like these because they remind me I can write whatever the hell I want however the hell I want to. I really loved this.
