Welcome to Litsy!

This anthology offers a chronological tour through Caribbean literature published between the 1920s and the late 1990s. It‘s a good retrospective with a few oddities, like the editors‘ failure to state each writer‘s nationality at the beginning of each story. Brace yourself for rape culture and dodgy colonial shit, too. The whole package is worth it as a literary artifact, but it often felt Good For Me rather than enjoyable. #caseyplusbooks

Casey and I woke up early this morning and found ourselves in the middle of a pretty intense snowfall. I hid from the horror by reading three Caribbean stories while he went back to sleep with his head on my leg.

My view as I read my daily short story. The trees right outside my window are pretty clear, but the rest of the world is shrouded in fog. #sixonstpaddys

I enjoyed my short story advent calendar so much that I've decided to keep on reading a short story every morning. This plan should last until I hit a novelette-length piece in either of these in-progress anthologies, at which point I'll procrastinate like all hell and drift away from the project.

Or I'll switch to another anthology or magazine with something shorter on offer. Whichever.

It's a grey, rainy, blustery day here ahead of a tropical depression, so I raided the shelves for something new to read.
