2.0

A collection of mostly fiction and nonfiction with a couple cartoons, some of the pieces focus on queerness and queer characters, but not all (which I think was good - showing we can celebrate queer writers without demanding all their writing be about queerness itself). The pieces all hit the same note, which for an anthology isn't the best. An anthology should demonstrate a range of topic/tone/plot and give the reader many different kind of experiences, that way it can show the breadth and depth of the collection's theme. Perhaps I am too old for the high angst characters and plot. It would be good for teens and YA.
