The Cure for Everything

#1077
Title: The Cure for Everything
Author: Severna Park
Year: 2013
Publisher: Author via Createspace
Pages: 288

Includes the author's eponymous Nebula Award-winning short story. While most of the eleven stories don't reference each other, many thematically revolve around wishes for something better, or for relief from vulnerability. Some of these stories have more explicitly SF/anthropological element than others; some are simply slightly uncanny. While my preference is for novels, Park deftly evokes character, setting, and stories that show glimpses of their larger, untold narratives.
