Emily Greenberg
Kallisto Gaia Press, Jan 2025
n this collection of short stories, Greenberg embraces our ‘post-truth’ era where politics has devolved into pop phenomena. The author has an informal, conversational voice that feels like talking with a friend and readers will appreciate her humor and quick pacing. This collection barely predates the current “stupid coup” we’re living through but acts as a map to how we got here.
