We love anderson cooper short stories6/21/2023 If I had to pick my favorite stories from this collection, I would choose: A Cat Called Grievous, We Love Anderson Cooper, Tattoo, and Collections. I was very pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of a magical realism aspect to several stories. There are some heavy topics to digest, but Maizes always finds a way to balance that with humor. The stories all focus on an individual dealing with a situation where they are made to feel like an outsider. Maizes has put together a collection of eleven stories that range in topic, but always fit the same formula. When I received WE LOVE ANDERSON COOPER I had no idea what to expect. That being said, I’ve mostly read collections by various authors or with a focus on horror/thriller stories. I always envision them as short stories to sprinkle in between reads to break up the bigger books. I don’t read a lot of short story collections, but I’m always intrigued by them and think they make a great compliment to a chunky TBR. Maizes debut collection drops the reader into stories that make they question what they would do in someone else’s shoes, while at the same time evaluating how we treat those around us. Each story focuses on a unique situation with a mixture of humor and heavy topics. WE LOVE ANDERSON COOPER is a short story collection bringing together tales about characters that have experienced being treated as outsiders for a variety of reasons, such as sexual orientation, religious identity, socioeconomic status, and their appearance.
