I'm afraid I ran out of steam on this one. The Butcher story was nice; there aren't too many genre stories that seriously consider sports fandom. (And yes, I do feel like this was mostly the point, and that the fantasy elements were kind of window dressing. Since I'm a sports fan, I'm mostly okay with that.)
The Kushner story wasn't bad, but makes me wonder what happened in the period between this story and The Privilege of the Sword.
I liked the Naomi Novik story. It was slightly gimmicky, but fun, which I never thought I'd say about a story with the milieu of high end real estate deals.
The Pat Cadigan story was okay, but I almost forgot that I'd read it. I found myself uninterested in the Patricia Bray story. Either the Novik or the Cadigan story was the last one I read. While there are some interesting authors in here, I just wasn't feeling like the overall anthology was holding my interest.

The Butcher story was all right and so was the Kushner story. The latter shows us a time period we haven't really seen before, but raises a question: okay, so what comes after that?Incidentally, is your postal address the same as it was for Christmas cards? I came across something that I think might interest you.
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, my address is still the same. Thank you!Snail in Danger (Sid) wrote: "The Butcher story was all right and so was the Kushner story. The latter shows us a time period we haven't really seen before, but raises a question: okay, so what comes after that?
