Ten Excerpts from an Annotated Bibliography on the Cannibal Women of Ratnabar Island, by Nibedita Sen
In Ten Excerpts from an Annotated Bibliography on the Cannibal Women of Ratnabar Island, a Nebula nominee for short story in 2019, we get a word picture of the titular place told in the titular format.  This short, disconnected entry format is one we see more often now and I think it works well for a short story, where one is trying to convey an idea in a very few words.  This one is OK, I guess, they always go by so fast for me it's hard to know what to make of them.  But worth the brief stop.
