Prose in order of liked-ness:

Scraps by Abdulah Sidran (loved it, he needs more translations!)

Two Hands by Caoilinn Hughes (love these kinds of stories)

Regular Decision by Silas Jones (cute, enjoyable)

Schändung (Desecration) by Alec Niedenthal (fun enough but also not fun enough)

Camouflage by Adania Shibli (intro was too poetic for me but ended well)

Daughters by Dan Bevacqua (starts strong, meanders in a bad way)
