The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017 by John Joseph Adams, Charles Yu

5.0

The best installment of BASFF so far - and not just because last year was some kind of banner year for SFF (although I guess maybe it was), but because Charles Yu brought a truly different glance to the editing. No disrespect to Joe Hill or Karen Joy Fowler, authors I love and admire, but it was nice to have a non-white author, to have an author who writes deep within the genres in question, and the results show: I recognized maybe five or six of the authors on this year's list and nearly every single one of the rest was a delightful discovery for me. This iteration of BASFF showed the depth and breadth of the speculative genres and renewed my passion for both of them.
