Riots I Have Known by Ryan Chapman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I thought that I would like this one more than I did. It is a short (novella) about prison life in which a riot occurs that appears to possibly be due to the protagonist's own making. It is meant to be satirical and dark deliberately but at times felt gratuitous and with all the usual tropes of prison life. I guess it is because those "events and characters" actually exist in prisons, but trying humor about some of the issues just doesn't do it for me.
