So...14 short stories, of which Suite readers will be familiar with only one. But for me that one - the Johnson-- ranks with the Nestvold as the stand out story. None of novellettes have been reviewed here, although I've read the Sinisalo (it's brilliant, but disturbing) but among the novellas the Coleman will be familiar. Among the novels, well I'm biased but the Pratchett is his best yet.
