A Guide to Being Born, by Ramona AusubelRead about another entry on the list.
Anything is possible in this magical story collection: a world in which people in love grow an extra arm, a collection of grandmothers find themselves in the afterlife on an endless cruise, and a man whose wife is pregnant discovers his body changing too—he develops a chest full of drawers. Love is the unifying element to all these unexpected tales. Love binds the characters to each other, and makes their differences—from extra arms to unusual communions with the natural world—not seem so significant.
