Without having read the collection, I chose it for a fiction workshop I'm teaching this winter. I regret that choice. We'll still learn from reading these stories and discussing them, but I wish there were more stories I'd want my students to emulate.
Many of the stories in here are truly exceptional. I would recommend Hover, Breeze, Antarctica (in fact I have already ordered Van Den Burg's new collection). Some were -meh- as in most story collections. Glad I read it, though. Could have used some Saunders ;)
