I am not, by any means, an expert on Russian literature, but by chance I seem to have encountered more Russian sf than any other non-Anglophone fiction. This huge anthology is a case in point. The full title is: Worlds Apart: An Anthology of Russian Fantasy and Science Fiction edited by Alexander Levitsky, and this review was first published in Vector 255, Spring 2008.

My recovery of old reviews continues with another from The New York Review of SF, in this instance The SFWA European Hall of Fame edited by James Morrow and Kathryn Morrow. The review appeared in The New York Review of Science Fiction 234, February 2008.
