The Year's Best Science Fiction, 12th Annual Collection
3.5 out of 5
A collection of twenty-three of 1994's best science fiction stories as selected by editor Gardner Dozois.
The book begins with Dozois' extensive summary of the year in science fiction and his concerns for the future of science fiction as a genre. Reading his 1994 observations in 2024, thirty years later, is both jarring and sad when you consider how many of the magazines mentioned no longer exist. I know most genre fiction (mystery, science fiction, fantasy in particular) go through moments where writers, critics, and anthologists are worried/predicting its destruction. I can remember hearing that worry in the late 1960s (science fiction), the 1970s (fantasy), and pretty much every decade for mystery. It never really happened, although there were always growing pains as the tropes changed. I've stopped worrying about it.
There's a fair mix of humor and angst, tragedy and farce within these pages, which I personally appreciate as it keeps the reading experience from becoming monotonous.
Contents
"Forgiveness Day" by Ursula K. Le Guin, 4 out of 5. "The Remoras" by Robert Reed, 4.5 out of 5. "Nekropolis" by Maureen F. McHugh, 3 out of 5. "Margin of Error" by Nancy Kress, 4.5 out of 5. "Cilia-of-Gold" by Stephen Baxter, 2.5 out of 5. "Going After Old Man Alabama" by William Sanders, 3.5 out of 5. "Melodies of the Heart" by Michael F. Flynn, 5 out of 5. "The Hole in the Hole" by Terry Bisson, 3.5 out of 5. "Paris in June" by Pat Cadigan, 2 out of 5. "Flowering Mandrake" by George Turner, 3 out of 5. "None So Blind" by Joe Haldeman, 3 out of 5. "Cocoon" by Greg Egan, 4 out of 5. "Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge" by Mike Resnick, 4.5 out of 5. "Dead Space for the Unexpected" by Geoff Ryman, 3 out of 5. "Cri de Coeur" by Michael Bishop, 3 out of 5. "The Sawing Boys" by Howard Waldrop, 2 out of 5. "The Matter of Seggri" by Ursula K. Le Guin, 4 out of 5. "Ylem" by Eliot Fintushel, 3 out of 5. "Asylum" by Katharine Kerr, 4.5 out of 5. "Red Elvis" by Walter Jon Williams, 3 out of 5. "California Dreamer" by Mary Rosenblum, 3 out of 5. "Split Light" by Lisa Goldenstein, 3 out of 5. "Les Fleurs du Mal" by Brian Stableford, 3 out of 5.
Some of my favorites include: "Margin of Error" which had a particularly satisfying revenge; "Melodies of the Heart" almost killed me emotionally; and "Asylum" which is frighteningly close to what we are facing in 2024.
A few of the stories disappointed me greatly, having such wonderful plots, terrific flow, and interesting characters, only to crash and burn the endings. No matter how great a story might be, if you can't stick the ending, it's all for nothing. Despite that, I'm still glad that I picked up this collection at the Friends of the Library store.

Dwelling in Hope
Studio Montclair is delighted to present its first exhibit devoted exclusively to photography, “Dwelling in Hope.” Dwelling In Hope through December 12, 2024 Leach Gallery 641 Bloomfield Avenue Montclair, NJ. Delving into a topic that is foremost in our minds today for a multitude of reasons, the show conveys images expressing the concept of finding hope within the familiar, everyday aspects of our lives. Works are comprised of images that, according to Juror Joel Morgovsky, “are meaningful…because they are ABOUT something, not just pictures OF something…Some artists used patriotic references, while others found spiritual resonances. Many depicted the hope they found in relationships, while others illustrated optimism that supports recovery, resilience, and perseverance.” Several artists also depicted the natural world including horticulture, clearly symbolizing anticipation for future seasons. Images depict a variety of venues ranging from individual homes to the larger community, encompass single individuals, interpersonal events, or natural surroundings, and portray symbols of refuge and possibility along with esoteric imagery that conveys the theme of hope. Participating Artists: Rachel Fawn Alban, Kate Albright, Jamie Atlas, Hilary Houston Bachelder, Christine Back, Marilyn Baldi, Patrick Binns, Lynne Breitfeller, Nova Bronstein, Cal Carter, Rachel Cole, Dennis Connors, Dan Epstein, Shoshana Kertesz, Rita Klachkin, Yael Klein, Steven Kushner, Joanna Madloch, Jessica Margo, Anthony Marino, John Masi, Pamela Moore, Mansa Mussa, Brett Oberman, Arthur Paxton, James Peaslee, William Pew, Katharine Philip, John Piccoli, Andrew Pope, Margo Ramirez, Toni Resnick, Ann Rosen, Norman Rosenblum, Joanne Ross, Laura Russomano, Manolo Salas, Maria Savidis-Markatos, Mary Shadbolt, Irina Shoyhet, Emily Snead, Peter Tilgner, Voyo Woo, Niesha Ziehmke Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays: 1 to 5pm Studiomontclair.org #studiomontclair #montcairnj #photographyexhibition #njartist

Asimov’s Science Fiction (March 1998)
So I'm back from vacation. Blech.
Oh, this part's fine. I gripe about the books and stories I review, but I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't enjoy it. It's my day job I don’t like going back to. Although actually, one of the better things about my day job is that it's ok for me hate it. Before I gleefully dived into voluntary underemployment, it felt like the world expected me to be grateful for the miserable job that I hated and was consuming my life and ruining my health.
And why talk about soul-crushing misery in the intro to a review?
You did see that this was an Asimov's Science Fiction review right?
Three novelettes and five short stories this time.
Novelettes
The Eye of God, Mary Rosenblum
Humanity has access to other worlds. But there's a catch. Another species controls that access. That's apparently extremely demoralizing.
But the story's mostly about a lesbian woman working through the death of a former lover she'd grown estranged from because of a child and a man. In the process she falls in love with her lover's alien doppleganger, learns more than she was supposed to about alien biology, and makes casual assumptions about alien sex and gender like an anthropocentric bag of dicks.
Transit, Stephen Dedman
The story above was at least partly about a human reacting oddly to a species with non-binary sexual biology. This one hits similar notes in a completely different melody.
In a future where humans have access to other worlds, thanks to a method that's controlled by aliens, a young genetically engineered human hermaphrodite falls in love with a muslim girl who is passing through on the Hajj.
It's a shame both of these stories were in the same issue. There's both good, and not very similar at all, but bound together they invite comparison and in my opinion this one comes out ahead.
Getting to Know You, David Marusek
Oh, it's an early story about Alexa.
Not creepy enough.
Short Stories
The Here and Now, Steven Utley
What good is time travel if you can't change anything?
Well, it lets you drag tourists into old wars.
Radio Praha, Tony Daniel
Expats talk and drink with each other all the time. It's probably not that unusual for them to tell each other stories about magical time-freezing radios and ex-girlfriends who become technoghosts.
Datableed, Pat Cadigan
Apparently recursive virtual reality is addictive. Which sounds to me like a wonderful way for a game developer to cheaply leech even more money from their customers. I wonder if Blizzard has patented it yet.
Scientifiction, Howard Waldrop
Reviewing this from memory nearly a month after I read it, I'm not sure whether it's about sentient roaches dealing with the leftovers of nuclear war, or about sentient roaches dealing with cracks in the drywall.
Wild Child, S.N. Dyer
Oh good, I was worried that this issue of Asimov's wasn't horrific enough. A short story where a lack of access to birth control leads to feral children roaming the streets and being treated like stray cats, right up to the same kind of adoption.
Final Thoughts
Eh, not bad. Mostly decent stories. A few chances to look at the world from a different perspective.

By Mary Rosenblum, on the SFWA website. Good, thoughtful, up-to-date piece, recommended reading.
Finishing the book can seem like such a step forward! Pop the champagne!
But then the author sits down to contemplate publishing. Oh, the thorny questions! Try for a commercial publisher? Do the self publishing route? Bring it out as an ebook only? Pay for print layout and an ISBN and bring it out as print?
So many questions!
It can raise anyone’s blood pressure!
The latest on authorearnings.com, a good source of ‘who’s making what’ information, is that the times they are a’changin’ for today’s authors. Maybe that stubborn determination to find an agent and get picked up by a NY publisher so that your book ends up in Barnes and Noble isn’t really worth the (huge) effort.
Let’s see how the numbers shake out for authors here!
PRINT VERSUS EBOOK
Every genre has its own print-versus-ebook profile. Some genres are populated by big ebook readers while others have readers who still go for print. So there is no single answer for that question. There can be a difference even within a genre, depending on the age and gender of your readers. That’s always something I consider when I’m evaluating a book — who is the readership and what do they read?
PRINT PREJUDICE
Print books used to be purchased pretty exclusively in brick and mortar bookstores. It is nearly impossible for small commercial publishers and self published authors to get books onto those bookstore shelves, and authors sometimes come out losing money when they do because of bookstore ‘return’ requirements.
But now?
In 2016, 43% of all traditionally published books were purchased online. Now, THAT is a reason to break out the champagne! Why? Because most readers pay little to no attention to the publisher. As long as the small press or self published book looks professional and has a professional looking cover, it’s competitive with books from the ‘bookstore’ publishers. If your ebook or print book includes those 5 critical elements for success and looks like the other professionally published books out there, readers don’t care who published it. They’ll look at price.
Aha! That might just be the reason that self publishing authors sell almost as many ebooks as the traditional publishers. They can usually price their books lower.
But what about print books?
2016 Self Published Print Book Sales
In 2016, 21,800,000 self published print books were sold, mostly published through Create Space. The average price was $10.34. Amazon imprints sold another 959,000 copies.
That’s a lot of print book money!
What does it mean for you?
Know whether your readers prefer print or ebooks. While it’s good to have a print version out there for the many ebook readers who like to put their favorite books onto a real bookshelf, it can be critical to have that print book out there if most of your potential readers prefer print or simply don’t use an ereader at all!
If you are publishing traditionally with a small commercial publisher who brings your book out as an eboook, find out whether or not that publisher will bring your book out in print. Many will not, although they’ll reserve the right to publish the books in print form, too, for a period of time, usually two years. They will spend the extra dollars to publish the book in print only if it sells well as an ebook.
You can negotiate to terminate the publisher’s option after that initial period is up, and you should do that if the publisher does not bring the book out in print, and your readership includes significant print-only readers. Even if you pay for a new cover and for page layout, it will not take many sales to recoup your expenses and start making money if your ebook is selling at all well. But again — just how many books sell depends on your genre, your readership, and also on whether or not your book includes those 5 key bestseller elements.
The Self Publishing Author’s Share
What are self publishing authors really selling?
A lot! Here are the 2016 sales of all adult fiction ebooks, according to Authorearnings.com
Traditional publisher; 175,000,000 ebooks sold
Self published authors: 150,000,000 ebooks sold
Amazon imprints: 50,000,000 ebooks sold
What does this mean for you? It means that readers are buying nearly as many self published ebooks as they are buying ebooks from small press and New York publishers. If you’re an author looking at a career, the greater price and promotion control of self publishing are going to make it well worth your while to self publish. You will undoubtedly make more money.
The print book picture is not so rosy!
While 141,351,000 adult fiction print books sold in 2016, the self published share s so small that it’s hard to even estimate it on the graph!
Ouch!
There can be many reasons for this poor showing.
Many publishers publish only ebooks in popular genres.
Print books are expensive, and first time authors may see poor print sales for that reason. Readers will take a chance on a new author for a $3.99 ebook, maybe not for a $12.99 print book!
First impressions matter more — a non-standard cover or interior layout can make a reader think twice about shelling out that $12.99.
Book discounters and free book giveaways make it easier to market ebooks to large numbers of potential fans.
The bottom line is that you are probably better off self publishing your ebook, and print is worth your time if your book has those five key elements and is selling well. You should easily pay for the cost of producing it and print copies are invaluable at readings, signings, and other author events, even if your readers prefer ebooks.
If your readership prefers print books, print is very important indeed!
Download my free pdf The Bestseller Bullseye to learn exactly what those five key elements of the bestseller are and make sure your book includes them all before you publish it or market it to a commercial publisher!

Reflecting back on Holiday time late last year there were several events following strict covid protocol at the beautiful Hollywood Museum owned by my pal Donelle Dadigan - Very memorable star studded tributes to Bob Hope, Ghostbusters, the 30th anniversary of Silence of the Lambs which included a funtastic visit in their scary Dungeon of Doom, publicist Roger Neal’s fantastic 60th birthday party & 40th anniversary in showbiz celebration, the museum’s lovely Celebrity Christmas Tree Trimming Party which included beautiful trees by Dr. Christmas and there amazing Author Day! The Goddess Judy Tenuta said "Silence of the Lambs was special because it was my first public appearance since kicking cancer's ass in 6 months! I presented a gift to DonelIe and I felt the love and support from everyone at the Hollywood Museum.... And I had fun with friends at the Author's Forum... I laughed it up with Miss Ruta Lee and all the Authors and even made my school lunch money back! Followers of Judyism can get my book "Full Frontal Tenudity" on Amazon .. the Goddess does not do mailings just Amazon.". Donelle, Steve and their hard working staff pulled out all the stops creating and hosting these spectacular events.... Meanwhile at the beautiful Catalina Bar & Grill on Sunset another holiday favorite was Ilene Graff’s super fun Christmas Show which included publicist Harlan Boll who has an amazing voice... George Pennacchio my favorite entertainment reporter told me "We love seeing Ilene and Ben on stage. They are always devoted to giving us great music and a terrific show with surprise guests along the way. Ilene has a natural warmth and it goes perfectly with her welcoming personality. During this busy time of the year it was just really nice to just take a break and enjoy some holiday cheer from Ilene and company. Her show was a gift wrapped with talent and love. Ilene added extra talent to the show with her brother Todd Graff and friends Glen Rosenblum and Harlan Boll. They added the right note to an evening of music and smiles." Other great holiday season events included Brian Sikoff’s Halloween Hotness at Madam Tussauds which raised big bucks for St. Jude’s and The Thalians Christmas Party honoring our beloved late great Debbie Reynolds which raised big bucks for Operation Mend at UCLA.... These warm and fun events were full of good cheer, camaraderie, great people and delicious food and drink. Jessica Sugar Kyper remarked "I'm so proud of Brian and friends raising so much money for St Jude's this year! $7,000 is nothing to shake a stick at! Way to go gang! I'm so happy to be part of Halloween Hotness for several years .. Let's keep it going!" I agree Sugar, I agree! I took the picture above of Debbie Reynolds above back in 2011 at The Paley which is the nite I met Roger Neal on the red carpet! Also kudos to the wonderful Writers & Illustrators Awards Dinner at the Taglyan on Vine... Kate Linder star of The Young & Restless noted "The Writers & Illustrators event is always enjoyable and this year was no exception... since the 2020 awards were unable to be held because of covid they honored both year's recipients. This enabled the show to have great content and entertainment". Photos from the event are included in a collage above - thank you guest, the ever busy director Christy Oldham for sharing your photo & thank you jcazali for all your help assembling them.
Another wonderful and memorable event was the Grand Opening of the luxury boutique Attic Koncept in West Hollywood which features rare finds from Saint Laurent, Fendu, Dolce, Hermes & trend setting European designers. The beautiful boutique is owned by fashionistas Maria Golomb and Max Gor. Opening night attracted lots of beautiful people, Hollywood Elite Stylists and influencers. Amongst the VIP guests were Mary Aloe, Christina Englehardt, Vogue model Meredith Mickelson, Lilit Bush, Shaka Smith, Wilma Elles, Pinky Dillion, Tatiana Allen, Vince Kelvin, Talk Vincent, Mva.la, George Blodwell, Brian O’Rourke and Arthur Chipman executive producer of Los Angeles fashion week. Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Bella Hadid and Alicia Keys purchase many of their hats designed by Ukrainian designer Rusian Baginskiy at this unique store. The concept behind the boutique is a concierge service that carries premium designers, selected pieces and very rare finds along with new designers new to the American market who present pret-a-porter collections as well as made to measure service and seasonal pre orders. “The store is full of timeless luxury pieces hand picked by Maria Golumb and myself” notes Max Gor with Maria adding “Our concept is also unique because our team is able to source extraordinary pieces from established luxury brands that you’ll never find anywhere else!” The lovely boutique is open by appointment and welcomes the public to book private sessions. Visit www.attickoncept.com for more information and to book an appointment online! Photos by HH Michael Bezjian William Kidston Tim Lydeen & Hollywood Hotness
I want to also add how much I enjoyed “A Journal of the Plague Year” by Willard Manus at Write Act in North Hollywood. The powerful piece by Daniel Defoe about the great pandemic of 1664 attacking London was well adapted into a poignant radio show eerily resonating the pandemic of our modern world. Though times are different from the pandemic over three centuries ago I found the storyline very relatable and moving and the material was well performed by the talented cast directed by Daniel E. Keough. “I am alive, I am alive” shouted lead actor Charles Anteby at the end of the piece - words I echo gratefully every day. Amen.... HH

What are you watching/reading/listening to these days?
Umm I just finished rewatching 30 rock again and I've been constantly cycling back through always sunny over the past few months also over the past couple of weeks I randomly went on a Paul Schrader kick after not having watched any movies in forever which was fun lol
It's been even more of a struggle than usual for me to get any reading done lately but most recently I've started Lucie Brock-Broido, Stay, Illusion, Marcel Proust, Guermantes Way, and Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa & Jonathan Rosenblum's book on Abbas Kiarostami + picked back up with Adorno's Minima Moralia so that's loosely the main rotation rn
I've been replaying the hell out of both new Boldy James albums from this year and still haven't gotten over how staggeringly good they are honestly 😱🤯 alsoooo a lot of Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow, Chxpo - Emo Savage, Annette Peacock - I'm The One, U.S. Girls - In a Poem Unlimited, Moodymann - Sinner, Three 6 Mafia - The End plus my standard summer/all around go tos ie Pavement, Guided by Voices, Prince, Azealia Banks, Hop Along, Dinosaur Jr, all Mary Timony projects etc

KFAM Transcript Guide
Note: My goal in creating these transcripts is to provide readers with as close an experience to listeners as I can. I make a lot of notes on tone and sound descriptions, and manipulate text (without messing with font family or color) in ways that I feel best convey how things are audibly expressed. Therefore, such things are very much subject to my own interpretation.
Things to know:
[these are sound effects, music, background noises]
[these refer to the tone people are speaking in]
*these are sounds people make, like sighs and laughs*
superscripts after words/phrases[1] mean there is an explanation of the reference being made at the end of the transcript
[1] unless it says “sic” instead of a number, which means the words are transcribed as said, even if they’re not said correctly
Any other punctuation or alteration in text is meant to be indication of how things are said.
Notes on frequent callers; most of these are noted upon the character’s first appearance, but left out after that. Anyone not on this list, I either haven’t gotten to or has no real distinctive tone overall. But if you ask I’ll do my best to describe them:
Emily Potter Generally, Emily sounds like sunshine
Troy Krieghauser Troy has a southern accent and sounds like friendship.
Herschel Baumgartner Herschel is a grumpy, old man. He sounds like a swear.
Cecil Sheffield [“Sessil” not “Seesil”] Cecil is also very old. His voice is often slightly shaky and confused, and slurred from drink.
Pete Myers Pete speaks very quickly and is permanently stuck between “It wasn’t me!” and “So there!”
Ron Begley Ron has a deep, gruff voice. He’s definitely a bear. (not the animal kind)
Archie Simmons Archie sounds like a Dramatic Gay™ Gossip with a southern accent and is always accompanied by the yapping of tiny dogs.
Doyle Bevins Doyle is a stoner. He sounds like a stoner.
Cynthia Higgenbaum Cynthia has a high-pitched, nasally, persistent “I want to speak to your manager” voice.
Riley Bevins I legit thought Riley was an automated message at first.
Mayor Steven Grisham Grisham is a smarmy politician. He sounds like a smarmy politician.
Finn Finn has never not been excited in his entire life. His volume suggests he’s always using speakerphone, but I’m not willing to bet on that. (Good for him if he is, though)
Dr. Jeffrey Rosenblum Dr. Rosenblum’s voice is measured and monotonous and mildly creepy at all times, especially when saying words/phrases meant to express any kind of feeling, like “Wowzers.”
Ernie Salcedo Ernie, or whatever he’s calling himself this time, has a heavy New York(-ish) accent. He sounds like the kind of person who says “whosie whatsies”
Howard Ford Beauregard III HFB3 has a “High Class-Better Than You” drawl at all times. Except “High Class” from 200 years ago.
Mary Jensen Mary has a southern accent. She sounds like your best friend’s mom calling you “honey” and asking if you want pie.
Tim Jensen Tim doesn’t have a notable accent/feel to his voice, though he often sounds nervous.
Reverend Xavier Hawthorne Hawthorne leads a for-profit, travelling mega-church. He sounds like it and over enunciates.
Chet Sebastian Chet has a deep, smooth, overly-suggestive voice. Good for jazz, bad for sexual harassment claims.

On the menu this evening: grilled avocados stuffed with freshly made pico de gallo, lamb rib chops (sorry Mary), and parmesan cauliflower risotto. In the glass: Shauna Rosenblum’s delicious Rock Wall Wine Co. 2018 Maggie's Vineyard Reserve Zinfandel. She recommended the avocados during last Thursday’s FB-Live chat and the pairing was spot on. Cheers! #LegendaryZinVineyards #foodandwine #wine #winelover #avocados #lambchops #GMGNation https://www.instagram.com/p/CCzcPQmpVDA/?igshid=1of5xonnrpi90
