Okay, this is stoopid enough to get me blogging again.
From a review of Eclipse Two, over at Discover:
Snort.
Also, 'just' a retelling? I don't know where this person's head is.
I puzzled over the selection of some stories (in particular, Margo Lanagan’s Night of the Firstlings seemed to be neither science fiction nor fantasy, but just a retelling, albeit a well-crafted one, of a bible story)...Of course, the Angel of fricking Death isn't a fantasy element, oh no. That's gritty realism all the way, that is.

Umm. Well. Yeah... Interesting review.
Some people still haven't parsed the idea of the Bible as epic myth yet. You'd think after James Morrow that would have clicked.
Here's something to cheer you - just came across a mention of Tender Morsels on the blog Sarah Miller: Reading http://sarahmillerbooks.blogspot.com/
where she states TM was her "most enjoyable reading experience of the year" in her literary round-up.
Cheers!
Jonathan: Well, not very, actually. But no publicity is bad publicity.
Richard: After James Morrow? After reading the Bible itself, would be enough, once you'd had a bit of a look around at the world.
Susan: I know, it's a heartwarming review for an author. Plus, there are nice new ones up at the Amazon site that make me feel pretty good.
