My recent favorites are:
Big Cats (which you've already read)
[Did you know that author (Holiday - I love that name!!!) is married to "Dwight" on The Office?]
No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July
Kelly Link's work (she has two collections, Stranger Things Happen and Magic for Beginners)
How to Breathe Underwater by Julie Orringer
Here's Your Hat What's Your Hurry - by Elizabeth McCracken
The short fiction of Aimee Bender.
And very funny but not for the faint of heart, Benjamin Weissman's Headless or Dear Dead Person and Other Stories.
And if you also like personal essays, I recommend anything by George Orwell. And my favorite writing by Virginia Woolfe is a short essay entitled, "A Street Haunting."
