this collection of short stories is far and away better than the first in the series (i think it's the last of 3, at least with these editors). there were only a couple of stories that i wanted to skip and many that led me to check out other works by a number of the authors.
Fascinating, not as smooth as No Telephone to Heaven, which I read first, powerful but full of first-novel problems. I'm looking forward to comparing/cross-referencing the fictionalized account of light-skinned Clare's friendship with dark-skinned Zoe with the non-fiction version in Cliff's new memo...
