Tony Williams has written the first review of "By All Means", for which much thanks. He points out that nearly all the characters could be middle-aged men, which is true. A previously published female-POV piece and 2 non-character pieces failed to make the cut. I've tried doing kid-POV, unsuccessfully.
He sorts the stories into three groups - "the artfully constructed personal histories, the metafiction-y ones, and the rest". When I submitted the long-list of stories, I sent a classification too -- Mainstream - Prague 86, The Big Climb, Late, Doors and Windows, Olga [4 others not chosen]
- Pretentious - [all 3 not chosen]
- Gloomy loner - Fractals [1 other not chosen]
- Non-realist - [all 3 not chosen]
- Comedy - [all 2 not chosen]
- Narratively challenging - Method of Loci, Definitions [2 others not chosen]
