“Entanglements “Tomorrow’s Lovers, Families and Friends” “Twelve Tomorrows””” by Sheila Williams et al

 This group of short stories was worth reading, if for no other reason than the interesting ideas it presented about the impact of future technologies on relationships. From a literary point of view, some stories were, of course, more effective than others.

“Christine Falls” by Benjamin Black (audio book)

 A very dreary, but psychologically interesting mystery, which takes place in 1950’s Ireland, and has to do with sending babies to Boston so that they can be bred for the Church. The antihero, Quirk, is suitably complex. I very much disliked the sections about Andy, an unpleasant, mentally unstable young man, who shook a baby girl to death, and violently raped Phoebe, who was in shock because she had just found out that Quirk was her father.
