What is Counting Cats in Zanzibar about?
Editor David G. Hartwell started this annual anthology series because he felt that the "other" best science fiction anthology ( The Year's Best Science Fiction ) included stories that weren't quite science fiction. Now in its second year, this anthology is proving that there is plenty of great "traditional" work being published in the field, and enough good stories to go around for both anthologies (although there is some overlap between them). In this edition Hartwell showcases talents such as Terry Bisson, James Patrick Kelly, Gene Wolfe, and Allen Steele. No matter how you define science fiction, you'll find something of interest in this excellent collection. Contents: Introduction (Year's Best SF 2) (1997) essay by David G.
