/lit/ - Literature

When was the last time you read a really good modern short story, /lit/? I mean something published in the last five or ten years. Can be any genre: literary, mystery, Western, sci-fi, etc.

I scored a date this coming Friday with a girl of darker skin, and I find myself inordinately troubled by the thought of her being either more Hispanic or more African/Black. I can't quite tell from her photos. Her features are not typically Black, her bone structure is more European/Hispanic than Black. But her skin is very dark.

In particular I find myself inordinately worried that her long hair isn't real, but a wig. I don't know why this is causing me to obsess, but it is. It looks pretty real, but I know wigs can look very convincing. There's something unnerving to me about dating a girl who wears fake hair all the time, and I'm not sure why.

I suppose maybe she's Afro-Caribbean? They tend to have this mix of features, right?
