Review of 'This Is My Letter To The World' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
Valente's short story style is one part deconstructed myth, folktale, or trope, one part introspective societal analysis, and one part exuberant, lyrical prose poem. Her enthusiasm for writing is obvious in every sentence, in her vivid characters and gorgeously detailed settings.
One of the most perfect short story collections I have read to date. I will be canceling one of my other magazine subscriptions and signing up for Omikuji instead.
