This is a fairly short but entertaining piece on what happens when an angel falls into a grassy lot in the middle of small town America. There's a lovely contrast between the quotidian lives of the townsfolk as they go on around the silent, unresponsive, yet clearly otherworldly being. ( )

I think I’ve read this one before, but it was a pretty blah listen through this time thinking I hadn’t and questioning all along if I had. This is more commentary on the city than it is on the Angel itself, which is the point but I didn’t feel massively moved (Which was surprising after just finishing her Caliban & Miranda). ( )

Short story (via Kindle) in which an angel falls to earth in a small Texas town, and the reactions this engenders. Magical realism doesn’t seem quite right, but it’s a gentle story about the ways humans behave in the presence of the incomprehensible. ( )
