Two positive reviews of Jetsam - I've linked to the full articles, but below is the text that just deals with my story. They're not huge reviews, but that doesn't matter - I'm very happy that I was mentioned at all. FYI, I haven't been actively seeking these out - these both come to me via the editor of Sybil's Garage, Matt Kressel

A review in The Hudson Reporter by Diane Schwabele:
The disturbing yet powerful "Jetsam" by Livia Llewellyn recalls images of the devastated World Trade Center and the billowing smoke. The narrator Jay struggles to remember something crucial that was lost. "Only a week since the attack, and smoke still billowed in toxic sheets over the lower part of the island. Chemicals and flesh - the dead settled in their mouth[s] and lungs," Llewellyn writes.

A review in Farrago's Wainscot by Darin Bradley:
Livia Llewellyn's "Jetsam" is phantasmagoric, a great "what if" taking contemporary metaphors of self to their logical conclusions. In this story, which draws its force from alienation in commodified society, ruin has learned to eat, and the middenheaps of its kipple-filled gullet are the new reality.

"Kipple-filled gullet" - I want to use that for a story now. :D
