Nebula Award winners announced
Over the weekend, the Nebula Awards Ceremony took place in Austin Texas. Hosted by the Science Fiction Writer’s Association of America (SFWA), the following excellent works from last year won the top prizes:
Novel: The Yiddish Policemen’s Union - Chabon, Michael (HarperCollins, May07)
Novella: “Fountain of Age” - Kress, Nancy (Asimov’s, Jul07)
Novelette: “The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate” - Chiang, Ted (F&SF, Sep07)
Short Story: “Always” - Fowler, Karen Joy (Asimov’s, apr/may07)
Script: Pan’s Labyrinth - del Toro, Guillermo (Time/Warner, Jan07)
Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Rowling, J. K. (Scholastic Press, Jul07)
Damon Knight Grand Master for 2008: Michael Moorcock
Personally I’m delighted to see Chabon and del Toro get recognised for their work. The Yiddish Policeman’s Union is a tremendously rich alternative history detailing a Jewish settlement in Sitka Alaska coming to the end of its 50 year lease.
