Trever

This was less consistent than  Honored Guest, but some of theses stories are even better than any from that book. "Health" and "The Last Generation" I particularly admired, as well as "Rot", "Escapes", "The Skater", and "The Blue Men." But "Gurdjieff in the Sunshine State" made no sense and "The Route" was pretty bad. I'm still going with 4 stars, though, because the good ones here were really good.
