 It's always great, but........................ August 24, 1998

I saw on ISFDB that he didn't choose "Where Angels Fear to tread" or "the 43 Antarean Dynasties". These stories ended up not only winning Hugoes, but also were tops in the readers poll of HIS magazine. They are definitely Science Fiction, but Hartwell probably didn't pick them because he (& I for that matter) figured Dozois would. Maybe he was afraid of looking like he was biased toward his own magazine, but Asimov's is THE premier sf magazine & considering that he's been quite fair. I hope ISFDB just screwed up, but I doubt it & I'm slowly losing confidence in his tastes. 13th annual was the first one I got & even the stories I didn't like impressed me. The next one had some stories that were less impressive than I expected, but still wonderful overall. Now... Well it's still a must buy, but I'm no longer certain it beats Hartwell's. The summation is a big advantage & he does always choose some great stories. Oh by the way those 2 stories didn't impress me as much as everyone else, but I liked them more then some he chose. Perhaps it's pleasing to know the 2 yr's best ommit enough to make room for a third that's truly BEST, but it's hard enough to keep up with two. Oh well if Rusch is reading & planning to do a third I'd like to say there's definitely room for you, I just hope there's an audience for you too. Otherwise the others said what I wanted except Balinese Dancer was WEIRD. Was it post-apocalyptic or ... well just what was it? He always chooses a few stories that confuse the heck out of me.
