"Nevertheless she persisted" (Tom Doherty Associates Book, 2020)

I wasn't convinced by most of these Flash stories, though they were written by Hugo Award winners etc. Sometimes the writing fails, sometimes the plot does. I'm not into fantasy, which doesn't help. Charlie Jane Anders can write (previous pieces in Slate, Tin House, Conjunctions, etc). "Anabasis" by Amal El-Mohtar is perhaps my favourite.
