Indeed. And Ellroy's introduction starts well...but his
selection from the menu Penzler offered, to judge by what
I've read previously, is solid. The best stories from
MYSTERIOUS PRESS ANNIVERSARY ANTHO are largely
there...(Penzler explains his apparent self-indulgence in
selecting from his own anthos, but it's kind of hard for a
BOTY editor to avoid one's own projects when surveying...as
Martin Greenberg or Gardner Dozois or Ellen Datlow and a few
others might note). TM

<<Speaking of anthologies, I've recently obtained both
the new Penzler/Ellroy (BEST AMERICAN)>>
Look for my review, to appear soon at Kevin Smith's site. I
have not finished the anthology yet, but I have a positive
opinion of what I've read. Some big guns (Gores, Connelly,
Clark Howard) as well as less famous authors. So far, so
good. It has variety.
