I enjoyed this collection. The politics inspiring the contents were not all truly current events, which made it refreshing for me. I often have mixed feeling regarding short storys, but I think that the fact there were many authors made them more palatable than is sometimes the case. Something that occured to me... With several of the selections, time and place wasn't immediately apparent -- the story could have been several different places and/or times. A sad commentary on humankinds inability...
I'm in it. What more can I say? ;)
despite the excellence of quite a few of the stories (and graphic novelettes - good on the editors for including some-a them!), i came away from this collection feeling more like i'd been given insight into the san franciscan liberal literati rather than into the crumpled and complicated politics of my homeland. (what a brain-stretch to figure out who f.s. yu might be!) okay, so maybe i expect too much (and risk sounding not a little like sarah palin). but i couldn't resist writing 'by lefties'
i am usually not a big fan of short stories, but these are neat little insights into the war. some stories are really short, but very impactful.
