The only one of these stories I think is dispensable is this one: 'The Institute'. I suppose something of Emshwiller's early, bizarre fiction - the stream-of-consciousness stuff that seems to make up most of Joy In Our Cause - has to be included here, but it strikes an odd note all the same, right after those two dreamy otherworld narratives and right before 'Woman Waiting'.

I was nervous about re-reading this; 2006 Brian just wasn't as well-read as I am (shut up, 2016 Brian; you're no prize either), and my Emshwiller mania gave way to my Jackson crush ominously fast. Luckily, the Good and Very Good Stories are still Good and Very Good respectively - and, furthermore, the ones I'd passed over before as well-written filler ('Début', 'Living...', 'If The Word...') seem a lot richer to me.

The poet aliens of 'Acceptance Speech' really are a lot like the Hoots in Emshwiller's later The Mount. Maybe they abducted the narrator just in advance of their invasion of Earth.

This month's re-read, and one of my old favourites - though I've not read it in more than a year now. (If anyone knows where I can get the US edition, with the four different stories - 'There Is No Evil Angel But Love', 'Draculalucard', 'Peri' and 'Emissary' - drop me a line.)
