I Read Stories: What Actually Gets You Is The Rising Heat
What Actually Gets You Is The Rising Heat by Anita Goveas
Three ways to appreciate What Actually Gets You Is The Rising Heat:
1. A tale of a family curse; that members (women) of the family will be killed by volcano
2. As an allegory for inescapable conditions, and specifically those that come from being a woman of Indian heritage
3. Where neither of these ways to look at the story works, offering a moment of transcendent mystery to momentarily light up the day
It’s very short and well worth your while reading.
Read This: For a short, clever, brilliant look at something difficult to describe
Don’t Read This: If a discontinuous magical fabulist story will frustrate you
