                    A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper

     This collection of 11 stories of life after a nuclear war is less
interesting than its introduction, it which Morris explains that her first
request for such stories netted a large number of "elf stories." Although
the list of contributors is impressive--Gregory Benford, C. J. Cherryh, Ian
Watson, and others--the stories are uniformly dull.  There's not one (except
perhaps Watson's "When Idaho Dived") that sticks in my mind even now.  Skip
it.
