Karen Joy Fowler. The Pelican Bar. (Eclipse Three, ed Jonathan Strahan.)

Nebula Awards Showcase 2005 – edited by Jack Dann, Roc, March 2005
Jack Dann picks up the editorial reins from Vonda N. McIntyre in the Nebula Awards Showcase series. There’s a lot of high quality fiction in this volume, and the only real beef is that the stories are from 2002, which means that in a number of cases you are reading stories which appeared in the Year’s Best anthologies two years ago.
