I can't claim that this analysis is perfect. Environmental factors may have accounted for a closer reading of the 2013 Wisden than its counterparts. I also suspect they held back some of the good stuff for the 150th. Regardless, it was my favourite and pretty comfortably beat out the competition. Only Le Guin's science fiction came close. Amis was disappointingly poor despite the odd excellent bon mot.
