Joy Williams: Ninety-Nine Stories of God (2013) and Concerning the Future of Souls: 99 Stories of Azrael. (2024)
Thu, Jan 23, 2025./noise/books | LinkKindle. Prompted by Dwight Garner's review of the latter. Short shorts. Some fun, some twee. Very few memorable. I didn't have enough of a sense of Azrael to develop one from the last book; it's more about the increasing irrelevance of the Devil in any case. There's some God in the first, mostly imagined as if he incarnated as an American man. That doesn't take much imagining.
Justin Taylor on the first. Goodreads (first, second) didn't get that much into either.
