The Best of Connie Willis: Award-Winning Stories by Connie WillisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Connie Willis ranks near the top of my list of favorite authors. Those top spots, I've found, go to those rare and wonderful artists who quite clearly and obviously love what they're doing, and let their joy shine throughout their body of work.
One piece of advice I often hear from artists to artists for succeeding in the creative arts is to "write what you enjoy, and eventually the rest of the world will catch up." Or sentiments to that effect. And throughout this collection of stories (as with the rest of Ms. Willis's writings) you get the sense that she's doing exactly that. Her stories are fun (they tend to read like old screwball comedies) and she makes it look easy.
