Imagine a neighborhood where it’s perfectly normal for babies to be stolen the moment their parents look away. Or waiting in a prison-life facility to be assigned a new spouse after yours died. That’s the dystopian future that Oakland author Diane Cook imagines in her short story collection, “Man v.
