Review of Yelena Crane, "A Face Full of Nations," Flash Fiction Online 129 (June 2024): 20-23 -- Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
For such a strange premise -- the new fashion fad is to sculpt a nationscape upon your face -- this story felt like a weird mix of things I'd already read, sort of a cross between Horton Hears a Who and another story I recently reviewed here, Holly Schofield's "What You Sow". This one, though, is much more dark and tragic than the other two, no happy ending here.
