Best of the Year Review

In his Best of the Year Review for Locus, Jeff VanderMeer has this to say about Logorrhea:

John Klima's Logorrhea, meanwhile, went with a more narrow focus. It took as its cue winning spelling bee words, with writers from Clare Dudman to Elizabeth Hand, Hal Duncan to Marly Youmans, creating stories around those words. The anthology includes some excellent tales, and readers who might have originally looked askance at the "theme" should take a second glance.

I realize that's about as much as Jeff can say since he's a contributor to it, but knowing Jeff, he wouldn't list it here unless he genuinely felt it should be here.

Jeff provides a great list of some of the amazing things that were published this last year. Jeff concludes with:

Although I read more widely in 2007 than ever before, and reviewed more books, no one can read everything in the field in a given year. My major sins of omission include: Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policeman's Union, Sarah Monette's The Mirador, Nalo Hopkinson's The New Moon's Arms, Minister Faust's From the Notebooks of Dr. Brain, Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind, Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box, Jack McDevitt's Odyssey, Charles Stross' Halting State, Cory Doctorow's Overclocked, Bruce McAllister's The Girl Who Loved Animals, Wizards edited by Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann, and The Solaris Book of New Fantasy edited by George Mann. In most cases, I simply did not receive these books for review.
