Strange horizons AtD review

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

Relatively goodish as well. Note once more, kiddies, how the quality 
of the attempts at encapsulating AtD improve the greater the time 
a given reviewer spends decoding this loose and baggy monster. 

"You have heard rumours about this novel. I'm here to tell you that 
the rumours are true. Against the Day is extraordinary, almost 
overwhelmingly so; but it is, amongst many other things, 
extraordinarily good."
