The standout of Humiliation is the thrilling “Teresa,” which follows a lonely woman who goes home with a man and his daughter after seeing the girl wandering the library alone. She describes his sparsely furnished apartment as if it’s a clue of some embarrassment—or worse—to come. But it’s a barking dog that ends up being the key to her story. “Dogs bark at ghosts, she thought. Which was she?” By the end, readers have an answer to that haunting question.
As a reader based in the U.S., I found it especially eye-opening being immersed in a world that is often depicted as oppressive and rigid. Being guided by women of color, who are reporting on stories that others wouldn’t have access to, feels like a unique opportunity. These are important narratives written by important people. And this anthology is an absolute must-read. –Robyn Smith

CEO Unveils Bold New Plan To Undo Damage From Last Year’s Bold New PlanNEW YORK—Saying it would mark a significant change in the company’s direction, Paradigm Marketing CEO Paul Dannon announced Monday a bold new plan that was evidently intended to undo the havoc caused by last year’s bold new plan. “It’s time to make some major shifts in how we do things [in reaction to the disastrous major shifts I implemented last year],” said Dannon of the sweeping new initiative that amounted to a point-by-point retraction of his sweeping initiative from almost exactly one year ago. “We’re all going to have to accept some changes [to salvage the resources wasted due to my last disastrous strategic move], but I’m confident this is going to be an important step [backward] for the company. And, who knows, maybe we’ll even have [no] fun [whatsoever] in the process.” At press time, Dannon was laying off several employees whose salaries amounted to the bonus he had received last year.
