I don't normally love short story collections ... hard for me to wind up caring about characters and situations I only spend a few pages with ... I realize this is 100% my bias ... but anyway I really loved this collection by Corinne Manning. All kinds of queer characters variously making messes and sorting things out. And I cared about all of them, for the few pages I knew them. One thing that sticks in my mind is a moment when a character makes a bad situation worse by putting on a ridiculous costume. No, I don't remember what costume or what situation. You'll have to read it and find out!
