The Best Small Fictions 2020 Anthology Elena Stiehler

In this, the sixth year of The Best Small Fictions, the world struggled, and struggles still, to overcome not only the sweeping catastrophe of Covid-19, but the continued, and increasingly reprehensible examples of institutional racism; a global climate on the brink; and the prevalence of dire political malfeasance. Despite, and perhaps in defiance of, this we proudly present the 2020 edition of BSF, an anthology once again packed with rich and varied small fictional gems--imagistic, surreal, alive, fervent--stories which show us the fluid shape of our shared humanity. The pieces contained here transcend; they glow eternal. These small fictions rise.
