It may not look like it from a distance, but being an anthologist can be hard work, and doing year’s bests takes a lot of time and effort. Now, no-one who does it that I know is complaining, but you do need to take the time every now and then to appreciate the good moments. So, many, many congrats to Kathryn and David on this piece of news. You should all go buy their book, and then check out Gardner’s too (I know you’ve already got mine). In fact, this year more than any other of late, is a good year to pick up the various ‘year’s bests’ and compare them. I think they all have something good to offer.
