The Vaporization Enthalphy of a Peculiar Pakistani Family, by Usman T. Malik
The Vaporization Enthalphy of a Peculiar Pakistani Family is another very short nominee. It's a protest story, which I find is somewhat common to this format. For me it's OK but does not really hang together very well,and when it ties together it's a bit of a letdown. The issue is very present in Pakistan, though, so it gets relevance points. Still, just average, only 2 stars from me.
