   I'm jumping across several short story collections:

   - "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang - "Ficciones" by Borges - "I have no Mouth and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison.

   I'm also slowly plowing through "The Big Book of Science Fiction" edited by Jeff and Ann Vandermeer.

   I love short speculative fiction. And the above are among my favorites.

      Are you me??????

      I read these exact three in the past six weeks. For a follow-up, I recommend "Earthlings" and "The Memory Police".

         Wow! Nice coincidence. I've read "The Memory Police". I will add "Earthlings" to my queue. Thanks for the recommendation

         I'm in a similar boat :D I love Borges and Chiang has some great short stories. I'd love hear if you know other authors that are similar?

            I would say Italo Calvino scratches a very similar itch like Borges and Chiang.
