Not all to my taste but with a collection of this size and breadth there is plenty to satisfy. Lovely to reread Leigh Brackett's "The Lake of the Gone Forever". Le Guin's "Sur", though to my mind not really speculative fiction of any sort, is a wonderful tale, and Octavia Butler as always is excellent. On one hand I demur at including so many non-genre writers in collections which claim to represent a genre, but on the other hand I am grateful to have read Muriel Spark's gem, "Miss Pinkerton's Apocalypse".

Also, the biography of Leonora Carrington makes the entire book worth it: "During the War she suffered a breakdown and was rescued from a Madrid asylum by her former nanny, who arrived in a submarine." ( )
