The week I became a Robin Becker fan

I read the first “The Stranger” by Robin Becker first, then dug into the rest of her work. These are my favourite three stories and they’ve convinced me to pick up her Zombie book after Christmas.

Four more fiction pieces below that, including prior faves Katherine Plumhoff (who was here last week too) and Carmen Maria Machado, plus new-to-me Andrea Bishop and Josh Rank.
