Reception

Publishers Weekly calls the book a "richly eclectic volume" and a "high-quality collection of short fiction, prose, humor writing and poetry." Receiving particular comment are the stories by Willis, a "high point," Yolen, and Effinger, and the essays by Bradbury and Di Filippo (who "berates the genre for ignoring Dr. Seuss").^[2]

The anthology was also reviewed by Gordon Van Gelder in The New York Review of Science Fiction, April 1990, Tom Easton in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, October 1990, and Doug Fratz in Quantum, Spring 1990.^[1]

Awards

The book placed seventh in the 1991 Locus Poll Award for Best Anthology.^[1]
