review 1: This Hugo award-winning novella was a very pleasant surprise. Charlie Jane Anders fearlessy dropped me into her story and made me feel immediately welcome and involved. I wouldn't normally expect to be so taken by such immediate and sparse story-telling, especially in a science fiction story, but it really worked here... I especially enjoyed her attention to detail... How would a person who can see into the future really function in life? How would that person relate to other people, whether they shared the gift of premonition or not? I was immediately charmed and loved every moment of the story.
review 2: This is such a me story, as Lisa rightly pointed out. There's a lovely premise about various ways of seeing the future, and though this is a short story, th... moreere time enough for some romance and tragedy and big questions. I like the idea and the way the plot plays out. There are also geographical and musical references that are very relevant to me (so many familiar Somerville/Cambridge spots!) -- and one literary reference to something that I just happened to be looking up at the same time on Wikipedia -- that make this story feel particularly personalized.I should probably get over my belief that I don't like short stories; there is substantial evidence to the contrary. :) less
