Creative Moment
I'm continuing my recaps of early Dozois anthols, since I was reminded of one of my highlights this afternoon. Anyway, there are some great and near-great stories here. My highlights, by memory:
• Dafydd ab Hugh, "The Coon Rolled Down and Ruptured His Larinks, A Squeezed Novel, by Mr. Skunk." I was reminded of this amazing story by reading George Saunder's mediocre (at best) "Fox 8." This is the story he was trying to write. 5+ stars! More:
• The Hemingway Hoax, novella by Joe Haldeman. Won both the Hugo and Nebula awards in 1991. His masterpiece, I think. 5+ stars! My full review:
• "We See Things Differently" by Bruce Sterling. An amazingly prescient story of the then-upcoming clash between political Islam and the West, in what is now an alternate history. One of Sterling's best early stories, 5 stars.
• Bears Discover Fire • short story by Terry Bisson. Won the Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Sturgeon and other awards. 5 stars. ICYMI:
And lots more Good Stuff after my four faves. OK, I see a couple of clunkers too. See

I'll add more links, if I get the energy to look for them & if I find more.
