SF Anthology Monster Meets Literature Demon, Lives
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The first story makes the price of the book worth while! (Egan's piece, 'Mitochondrial Eve,' is tight, pertinent, and funny ten years after first publication. If you read it closely, you'll laugh out loud.)The truth about British sci-fi is that it often puts American sci-fi to shame in the area of style. I found the stories in this work superbly written, whereas I often get sleepy slogging through Mr. Dozois tastes (because they're so consistent, so repetitive).This collection has a lot of fresh ideas. 'Best of Interzone' is a great gift for a person you know who likes modern (short) fiction and wants to try, for the first time, "a little science fiction." It will offer a sublime feel for what authors with panache and a little articulate gab can do if they're motivated. High recommendations!K.M. McKay
One of the few brit things I like.

I don't even much like the british things that are popular in the usa like monty python, the beatles, shakespeare okay americans don't like shakespeare either, but you get my point. Anyway they do produce great science fiction. Interzone has some stuff too out there for me, but this has some hard sf & other stuff that's readable. Try it if you got time.
