what a powerful collection! what i loved most about reading it was the reading experience itself: disorientation, surprise, anticipation, delay. these stories hit you, hard and ferocious; they linger.
one thing i would have liked to see more of: engagement with / questioning of narrative convention and the written word itself. more breaking down of form, as in allen's piece; less single-voiced narrators, less confidence in stylistic unity.
most memorable stories for me: barzak, singer, deluca, allen, schanoes, ferrero.

As with all collections, some were better than others. "After Verona" was amazing. There were about three or four other really good ones. The rest were kind of meh. Worth checking out of the library for AV, but not worth buying.
