My favourite short fiction and creative nonfiction
I’ve shared a lot of links to short fiction and nonfiction here in the past year, and have begun posting a handful of links every Monday morning.
Here are the ten most memorable pieces I’ve shared in each category this year, in alphabetical order by the authors’ last name. Ranking them feels entirely inappropriate – they’re all incredible, personal things and each of them deserve a broad audience (you should bookmark this page and come back until you’ve read them all):
