Finished this, & I think my favourite stories are 'Cocoon', which captures the banter of atel Bangali upper middle class bros w/ hilarious precision, & 'The Golden Bird', an allegory of living under the shackles of ethnonationalism, with a dragon at its heart.

Weekend is almost here and we have some important decisions to make! 🤓📚
