<title>"The Feminist" by Tony Tulathimutte</title>
<link>https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-35/fiction-drama/the-feminist/</link>
<guid>https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-35/fiction-drama/the-feminist/</guid>
<description>
<![CDATA[
Tulathimutte has an incredible talent for creating characters who are horrible in ways that stem from deeply realistic insecurities. If you enjoy this story, or more generally if you enjoy stories that make you wince at the choices the characters are making, I would highly recommend reading "Rejection," a book of interconnected short stories including this one. 7431 words. <a href="https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-35/fiction-drama/the-feminist/">Link to story.</a>

<description>
<![CDATA[
Actually this is a recommendation not just for the story "Exhalation" but for the entire collection of short stories by the same name. It's a really thought-provoking and cohesive collection that approaches our concepts of time and consciousness and choice from a variety of angles. But "Exhalation" the story is also available to read online if you are in the mood for an unusual sort of apocalypse. 6552 words. <a href="https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/exhalation/">Link to story.</a>
