The Citation of Merit
The Citation of Merit, officially retired with the Second Quarterly Review of 2007, returns for an encore appearance in this issue. Our readers may find it worthwhile, thinking, “The Quarterly Review is indeed the cream of a worthy crop, but what is the crème de la crème?”
We prefer that you pick your own favorites, of course, and by all means let us know what they are. Meanwhile, here are the works that were voted the most outstanding in each genre. They are listed in alphabetical order by author.
