A Better World's in Birth!: A classically abstruse story from Waldrop about a People's Republic in Europe in the 1870s after the success of the Revolutions of 1848. Some of the mystery was hard to figure out, but I liked the setting at least.

I've already read "A Dozen Tough Jobs"; "Fin de Cyclé"; "You *Could* Go Home Again"; "Flatfeet!"; "Major Space in the 21st Century!"; and "The Other Real World" in Waldrop's other collections this year.

Finished A Dozen Tough Jobs and watched Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? today. What a great combination. More Greek myth retellings set in America’s past!
Also shoutout to RR Martin for doing so much to get Waldrop’s work out there.
