The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017

Praise for THE BEST AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY 2016 "The second edition to the Best American Science Fiction and Fantsy, edited by Karen Joy Fowler (Mariner), is just as strong as the first, if not stronger. . . With heavy-hitting authors such as Salman Rushdie, Anders and Sofia Samatar, this volume showcases the nuanced, playful, ever-expanding definitions of the genre and celebrates its current renaissance." - The Washington Post "There has never been a better time in science fiction and fantasy short fiction, and you need look no further than this collection to see that truth. Within, you will find magic, aliens, dystopia, fairy tales, terrifying technology, far-flung futures, uncanny planets, and more. But you'll also find heartbreak, laughter, compassion, complex morality, acceptance, strength in numbers, love, justice, the absurd, and the bittersweet. A very elite, highly curated set of stories; an obvious taste is at work." - Kirkus Reviews , Starred Review Praise for THE BEST AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY 2015 "A great, fun, romping collection of stories." - San Francisco Book Review "This volume's diverse list of well-known and rising stars . . . makes it a welcome addition to the 'Best American' series." -Washington Post "A powerful collection that is worth your time, attention, and love." - Tor
