Light and Lively: Humorous American Short Stories Book

My utter favorite was Csilla Kleinheincz's "A Drop of Raspberry" because of the language (although it's a translation from the Hungarian) and imagery. "A Map of Everywhere" by Matthew Cheney also stood out in its quirkiness. Catherynne M. Valente's "A Dirge for Prester John" and Mikal Trimm's "Climbing Redemption Mountain" must also be mentioned. Overall, the anthology worked for me, as a collection of "interstitial" works. I attend science fiction conventions as well as the AWP, and have noticed the opportunity to pull certain attendees of each together into fruitful collaboration. Delia Sherman and Theodora Goss appear to have done exactly that.
