Esther M. Friesner. Rutger and Baby Do Jotenheim. (F&SF Sept/Oct 2011).
A most bodaciously excellent yarn from Friesner, with a very unlikely couple – one an academic, the latter a pole dancer – at the table of the Norse gods.
Esther M. Friesner. The One That Got Away. (Asimovs, April/May 2011).

Fantasy and Science Fiction April 2002
An enjoyable collection, with Friesner, Disch, Bowman and Dozois providing some entertaining if not substantial fare. Williamson and Thomas provide some good fiction, the Finlay story is stretched just a bit too far to have really held my attention, but the Friesner is a little gem.
