The others show definitely more talent for pseudonyms than me!
I had my soap box positioned for the Garrett, with cracks about Northern blacks running away to the South, and Anglo nostalgia for the good old days of serfdom, but decided Victoria Silverwolf's review is certainly better. Let's hope in the future - the very near future - US blacks will be prosperous enough so magazine editors will have to consider black opinion.
Mating Problems and The Big Fix are both basically good ideas, but the writing is much weakened by the female characters. I'm particularly disappointed with Anvil. You'd think it would be very congruent to his voice to say women's contributions, with both vocation and crafts, were as important to a pioneering society as men's. And perhaps even more a minority in a heavy tech society.
Thank you for the reads, and looking forward hopefully to F&SF.
