the highest level of craft, and yet the least likely to be admired, or even appreciated. Once I offered a definition of genius, in particular reference to Buddy Rich: “Doing the impossible, and making it look easy.”
    And yes, Kevin does make it look easy, though of course it’s not. He works to a very high standard of quality in his writing, from the conception to the execution, and these stories are a testament to the consistency of his art.
