Strange Horizons Reviews: Many Voices: A Review of Polyphony, Vol 1, 2, and 3

'The fantastic as metaphor is visible throughout these series, but the example that leaps to mind is "Wounds" by Celia Marsh (P3). In this story, the main character's body heals with exceptional speed, so when she wishes to keep some memento safe, she secrets it under her skin. Summarized that way, it sounds almost ridiculous; I assure you it is not. Marsh describes this ability with a bravura style that made me stop reading and clap my hands (literally).'

Eeeee. (and thank you to Brendan who pointed this out to me as I didn't read the Strange Horizon email last night.)

Celia, that's incredible. Definitely a nice bit of whip cream (or jimmies, whichever you prefer) on top of the cake of being published in the first place.

A pleasing review. It is not every day that the word "bravura" is applied to describe one's self.
