Such A Pretty Face

From Booklist Theme anthologies are outstanding when the stories in them are strong in their own right. Editor Martindale has a worthy goal--celebrating characters who are neither Conan nor Barbarella but physically more like most Americans. That is, as the phrase has it, persons of size. Unfortunately, only a few of these dozen stories stand out. Unsurprisingly, those few are by such established writers as Gene Wolfe, Jody Lynn Nye, and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. Wolfe contributes a tale of magic, Nazis, and a mysterious Austrian innkeeper; a sly story of elephants and actors is Nye's offering; and Scarborough delivers the witty and wise fairy tale of a princess who finds that a weighty curse has hidden benefits. The other stories are mostly unpolished and unimaginative. Only thoroughgoing collections and those with patrons who would be grabbed by the theme ought to add the book.

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
