A bit of complaining about oz literary magazines not publishing genre work in the intro here, even if a bit non-traditional. Even Greg Egan has a go at the former. That is all fine, but it is the more traditional stories here that are the best.

This may also have something to do with the writers, too, of course - Broderick, Dowling, Turner, etc.

Only an average book as a result, with Turner's standout and Grigg's fubar story pretty good, too.
