Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-04 00:00:00 Andrew Hendricks Choosing fiction for its lesbian content seems very suspect to me, as relationships of any kind are usually part of a bigger story. That said I loved Pamelump by Anna Livia, whicdh was just about the love of one girl for another. Some other stories were quite good, but I do rebel against the forcing of all to one mould.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-29 00:00:00 Jessica Ashcraft It's nearly impossible to fairly rate and review a collection of short stories, especially one that spans 500 pages. This collection is well-edited. The stories are grouped into sections: Child's Play, Present Tense, Family Values, Past Times, and Possibilities. Each section is preceded by a short essay explaining the grouping and highlighting information from the stories in the section. The end of the book has paragraph-long biographies of each author, most of whom were new to me. There are a couple of standout stories here: Pamelump, Kermit's Room, A Country Dance, La Bruja, The Woman Who Loved the Moon, and Did'ja Ever Hear of a Goolieguy were my favorites. I'm pretty sure I picked up this collection in a used bookstore in Dublin several years ago. I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. Short stories were just what I needed this holiday season to fit in between other activities.
