I do get the impression that the one critique people have who haven't read
the volume is that it doesn't carry over a sense of the anthology itself -
of course it doesn't - it's a response to something that is perceived to
be - but that point does remind me of why I'm chary about reviewing myself.
More to come tomorrow.
Best
Dave
