(Psst: Szpara, not Sparza. Perhaps Eastern-European rather than Hispanic in origin? I'd be curious to know, since it is a surname and a word in my language.)

My favourite was "Wind Will Rove". I found it enormously compelling and emotionally resonant, and loved the ending so much (though it's difficult for me to explain why months after reading it; and at the time I read it, it was available for free online in full, I think.)

I have yet to read de Bodard or Palmer, but of the others, A Series of Steaks was my second favourite, with Extracurricular Activities a close third. And I actually liked them more than this year's selection of novellas. Plus, now I'm very curious to read Palmer.
