   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) JaimieRiella | Feb 25, 2021 |  I recently acquired an insatiable thirst for short fiction, and this anthology series has proved just the thing for quenching it. The selections are fantastic. Each story is a fine example of a literate, carefully crafted tale with a great deal to offer the reader. They entrance, entertain and offer a new perspective on the world, and the writing is top notch. These authors know what they're doing. They've made perfect use of the medium. I'm eager to seek out more work by these people. The summations, too, are nicely organized and very useful. Each of them provides the reader with some valuable suggestions for novel-length books, short story collections, nonfiction, art books, etc. The comics and film sections help single out those offerings the reader should explore in areas in which a lot of chaff is mixed in with the wheat. Finally, the obituaries highlight contributers to both genres who passed away in the preceding year. The collection's only downside is, perhaps, that traditional fantasy is underrepresented. There's a strong emphasis on magical realism, urban fantasy and historical fantasy. Maybe there just wasn't much stunning, literary, traditional fantasy published in 2002, but I did feel the lack of imaginary world stories. Overall, I highly recommend both this volume and the rest of the series. Datlow and Windling do a wonderful job of selecting the stories and placing them to best effect. This time around, my particular favourites were "A Pool in the Desert" by Robin McKinley, "Mermaid Song" by Peter Dickinson, "Seven Pairs of Iron Shoes" by Tracina Jackson-Adams and "The Coventry Boy" by Graham Joyce. The only story that did very little for me was "The Prospect Cards" by Don Tumasonis. (  ) xicanti | Feb 24, 2008 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
