Pracenje sirih i uzih izbora, kao i samih dobitnika nagrada moze dosta pomoci u mnogim aspektima voljenja i pracenja desavanja u dragoj nam fantastici i nije lose imati te informacije na jednom mestu a ne lutati po forumu i traziti ih. Poceo bih sa jednom bitnom i jos uvek aktuelnom nagradom:

Nikako ne mozes da kazes da je bilo sta trebalo da dobija Hugo. Huga dobija hype, marketing, dobri prijatelji, pare i, na kraju, sta raja vole. E sad, BSFA je vec dobio ostala je Nebula, mislim. Tu vec mozemo i neke pare da bacamo na to sta bi trebalo  :wink:

The Premios Nocte are presented by the Asociación Española de Escritores de Terror (Spanish Association of Horror Writers) and this is their very first year. These awards are therefore for works published (either in Spain or in Spanish, we are not sure which) in 2008. The winners are:

    * Spanish language novel: Rojo alma, negro sombra (Red Soul, Black Shadow), Ismael Martínez Biurrun (451 editores)
    * Translated novel: Déjame entrar (Let the right one in), John Ajvide Lindqvist (Espasa-Calpe)
    * Spanish Language short fiction: “Lluvia sangrienta” (”Bloody rain”), Roberto Malo (from La luz del diablo (Devil’s Light); Mira editores)
    * Translated short fiction: “El mejor cuento de terror” (”Best New Horror”), Joe Hill (from Fantasmas (20th Century Ghosts); Suma, 2008)
    * Lifetime Achievement: Francisco Torres Oliver

More information (in Spanish) is available here. There is also a picture of the trophy and, for the benefit of people who were complaining on Sunday about how ugly the Howie is, we reproduce it here.



The sculptor is José Azul.

O tom Džefriju Fordu sam se naslušao, čak mu je kod nas objavljen Portret gospođe Šarbuk, a ja nikad ništa da nabavim a kamoli pročitam. A zapravo i nema čovek toliko toga...

sa upravo citam topika...

Jeffrey Ford - The Portrait of Mrs Charbuque

U, do kraja, neizvesnom sukobu prosle noci izmedju sna koji je pretio da me savlada i mog zavrsavanja ovog romana prevagnulo je Fordovo delo svojim besprekornim stilom, bizarnoscu i, naravno, mojom zeljom da saznam kako se ovaj triler, fantasticna misterija i unutrasnja potraga razresavaju.

Piambo je portretista krema njujorskog drustva 1893 godine. Iako mu to donosi finansijsku sigurnost rastrze ga uverenje da je na taj nacin izdao Umetnost i ne moze da odoli izazovu da naslika portet misteriozne gospodje Charbuque za novce koji bi ga ucinili bogatim i slobodnim da se na miru posveti slikanju kakvo bi on hteo. Postoji "samo" jedan uslov: svoj model ne sme da vidi, treba da ga naslika na osnovu konverzacija sa Mrs Charbuque koja je sve vreme sakrivena iza paravana.

Roman je bio nominovan za World fantasy award 2003.(doduse te godine je tu nagradu dobio za najbolju zbirku). Skrecem paznju na ovo posto su fantasticni elementi prilicno efemerni(ovo je nesto o cemu se moza nadugacko i nasiroko diskutovati). Najbliza odrednica koja mi pada sad na pamet bio bi magicni realizam, mada se ovaj roman otima i takvoj, prilicno sirokoj, klasifikaciji.

Ovo je prvi Fordov roman sa kojim se hvatam u kostac. Poznajem ga iz mnogih kratkih prica na koje nalecem ne sve strane u poslednjih par godina kao i njegove zbirke The Empire of Ice Cream. Na osnovu tih prica nameracio sam se da procitam i nabavim sve sto mogu i ovaj prvi susret sa Fordom u duzoj formi samo me je ucvrstio u toj nameri. Prosto ne mogu sebi da oprostim sto mi ova knjiga vec dve godine stoji na polici neprocitana, ali.. ko zna zasto je dobro? U svakom slucaju Portret donosi sve na sta sam navikao iz brojnih prica: sjajno oslikani likovi, bogata proza koja je retko kada samodovoljna, nit humora koji se provlaci i kroz najmracnije scene, zanimljiv i nekliseiziran zaplet, intospektivni i filozofski senzibilitet i mnogo toga jos.

U svakom slucaju mnogo toga jos.

Sta su ti ukusi... mada sam ja citao u originalu, i najpre me je kupio recenicom, mozda je to izgubljeno u prevodu. S druge strane, Ford nije bas svacija soljica caja. Steta je samo sto vilja donosi sud o jednom dobrom piscu na osnovu jedne procitane knjige u prevodu.

Pa Melkore, ja i nisam komentarisala pisca nego knjigu PORTRET GOSPOĐE ŠARBUK , prevod (FABRIKA KNJIGA)...
Stvarno nije ostavila neki utisak...Evo kad sam pročitala tvoje mišljenje, učinilo mi se da ja i ti uopšte ne mislimo na istu knjigu. Toliko se tvoji utisci razlikuju od mojih...To je, ja mislim, jedna od poslednjih knjiga kod koje sam nasela na blurb...ma svašta je interesantno obećavao...kad ono-šipak. Na stranu to što sam za onog provalnika pretpostavila to-što-već-jesam (da ne spojlujem, neko će to da čita),pa samim tim jelte...interesantnost se svela na zanemarljivu meru, mene su najviše iziritirali likovi gospođe Šarbuk('jao-što-sam-imala-zanimljivo-buran-umetnički-život-kojim-se-kurčim-zavidite-mi-bednici') i slikara (ne mogu ni imena da mu se setim)koliko me je smorio. Stil kojim je knjiga pisana mi je još i dobar (uzimajući u obzir da se radi o prevodu) u odnosu na sve ostalo...Ma za sve kriv taj prokleti blurb, previše je obećavao.  ;) :lol:

Pa, ako je obecavao nekakvu misteriju, le kareovski krimic ili... ladlamovski triler, verovatno, ovo je vise o odnosu umetnika i umetnosti... al' dobro. Imao sam tu prednost sto sam vec procitao silne mu price i znao sam sta, otprilike,  mogu da ocekujem.

@ zakk - Ako si raspolozen za neku od zbirki, javi

Da se vratim nagradama, zanimljivo je da su i Ford i Lanagan najjaci u pricama, ko prati antologije imao je prilike da naleti na dosta njihovih dela. Nazalost, jos nista nisam citao sa spiska, mada neke stvari imam vec neko vreme i voleo bih da se javi neko ko je bar nesto procitao. Za Paper Cities nisam bio siguran da je toliko dobro, alu sad cu, jelte, morati da proverim. Ocigledno je da su sve nagrade dobrano pretegle na stranu slipstreama u odnosu na tradicionalniji fantasy.

Pa, ako je obecavao nekakvu misteriju, le kareovski krimic ili... ladlamovski triler, verovatno, ovo je vise o odnosu umetnika i umetnosti... al' dobro. Imao sam tu prednost sto sam vec procitao silne mu price i znao sam sta, otprilike,  mogu da ocekujem.

Jao bre Melkore, naterao si me da poražim PORTRET GOSPOĐE ŠARBUK. Grdno sam se namučila da je nađem jer sam je gurnula negde na dno police...Evo šta lažljivi blurb kaže:

"Ovaj nesvakidašnji, (ma ajde, kakvo tendenciozno preterivanje  :roll:) uzbudljiv ( xsleep2 mada, neosporno, neke ljude svašta uzbuđuje) i misteriozan roman (e, na ovo sam se primila, kad ono...nigde misterije  :() koji u sebi spaja večita pitanja umetničkog stvaralaštva s najboljom tradicijom trilera (izem ti triler kad ti je već na trećini knjige skoro sve jasno, nema napetosti, glavni likovi toliko iritiraju da uhvatiš sebe kako navijaš da im neko ozbiljno naudi :twisted:)..."

"Dok čitate ovu knjigu čini vam se kao da ste ušli u svet neke od slika Salvadora Dalija i postali njen deo"
Ja naivno pomislila da je to neka sjajno-uvrnuta knjiga koja se ne ispušta iz ruku dok se ne pročita...a pročitala sam je do kraja samo zato što sam mazohista...Kakav zez. :(

I jeste misteriozan. Šta je glavni zadatak našeg lika? Šta treba da napravi? DA li zna šta i koga on crta? Roman nije preterano dobar, ali jeste okej.

Inace, sa britanske liste procitao sam samo Mievilla (naravno :)) i ne verujem da ce pobediti. Lavinia ulazi u trku sa vec dobijenom Lokusovom nagradom i mogla bi da dobije nagradu kao kontrast prethodnim godinama (a i najnahvaljenija je od svih nominovanih). Roberts je lokalni favorit i prilicno cenjen u UK. A Baxter na papiru ima najvece sanse s obzirom na ljubav BSFA-a prema hard SF-u, pogotovo sto nije stand-alone roman.

John Jude Palencar has won the prestigious Hamilton King Award, presented by the Society of Illustrators. As Irene Gallo explains, although the Hamilton King is ostensibly given for a single piece of artwork (in Palencar’s case his cover for Charles de Lint’s Muse and Reverie), the award has become seen as something of a mid-career achievement award given only to artists with a superb track record.

Nova nagrada za "istorijsku fikciju", nema veze sa fantastikom ali znamo da dosta ljudi koji citaju SF&F zanima i istorija te:

New Walter Scott prize to honour historical novels

Inaugural £25,000 award to be presented in June at Borders book festival

    * Alison Flood
    * guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 2 February 2010 16.04 GMT

He is seen as the father of the historical novel, so it's perhaps only fitting that a new literary prize honouring the genre is to be launched in the name of Sir Walter Scott.

The £25,000 award is being set up by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, whose ancestors were closely linked to Scott. They hope the award will help to "properly honour" the author's "immense achievements", and "place as one of the world's most influential novelists".

Scott's novel Waverley, published in 1814 and set during the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, is regularly described as the first historical novel. Telling the story of daydreaming Englishman Edward Waverley and his decision to ally himself with Scottish highland chieftain Fergus, his beautiful sister Flora and the Jacobite cause, its subtitle "Tis Sixty Years Since", is being used by the prize's organisers to define parameters for entry, with a historical novel deemed to be one where the events described take place at least 60 years before publication.

"By fixing, then, the date of my story Sixty Years before this present 1st November, 1805, I would have my readers understand, that they will meet in the following pages neither a romance of chivalry nor a tale of modern manners; that my hero will neither have iron on his shoulders, as of yore, nor on the heels of his boots, as is the present fashion of Bond Street; and that my damsels will neither be clothed 'in purple and in pall', like the Lady Alice of an old ballad, nor reduced to the primitive nakedness of a modern fashionable at a rout," wrote Scott in his introduction to Waverley. "From this my choice of an era the understanding critic may farther presage that the object of my tale is more a description of men than manners."

The first Walter Scott prize will be presented as part of the Borders book festival in June, at Scott's home Abbotsford House, near Melrose, for which fundraising to restore the property is currently underway. Judges will include novelist Elizabeth Laird, journalist and author Allan Massie and literary editor of the Scotsman David Robinson.

The Diagram Prize '09: The Shortlist

18.02.10

Autonomous Robots take on the Third Reich

THE BOOKSELLER TOWERS, London. — 2009. A year when lists were slashed, advances were cut, employees were given the boot, book sales suffered a slight malaise (see: “celebrity” memoirs), and yet, and yet . . . oddity endured.

I received a record number of submissions for the 2009 Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year, almost treble the number I received for 2008. And I have Twitter largely to thank, for 50 submissions were Tweeted in my general direction. Sadly, however, almost half the submissions were ineligible as they were published well before 2009. They raised a smile nonetheless—Sketches of a Few Jellyfish, On Sledge and Horseback to Outcast Siberian Lepers, and Seeing and Sensing Gnomes: Hey Looky Heah’h, to name but three.

However, even after the initial cull, the list was still considerable in size, meaning my panel of esteemed literary minds and I were forced into ruthlessness, brutally cutting any submission we felt carried a “deliberately odd” title. As such, submissions including Bacon: A Love Story, The Origin of Faeces and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, fell at this second hurdle. But even after this second cull, choosing a shortlist still proved formidable, with equal measures of both controversial and emotional.

However, finally, and without further ado, I give you the final six:

The Changing World of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
by Ellen Scherl and Marla Dubinsky (Slack Inc)


For the second year in succession, healthcare cognoscenti Slack Incorporated enjoy a spot on the shortlist. 2008’s bottom-clenchingly absorbing Curbside Consultation of the Colon proved a real cracker with voters, finishing a respectable third in last year's Diagram Prize, but Slack will no doubt be hoping to go two better this year. Sales Stateside have bottomed out at around the one-every-couple-of-weeks mark, but sales aren’t on the skids over here—principally because it has yet to sell a single copy on UK shores, no doubt because our enviable diet (curry, etc) bequeaths us with immaculate intestines.

Inflammatory bowel disease has form in this award. Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Personal View narrowly missed out to Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality in the '86 installment.

Collectible Spoons of the 3rd Reich
by James A Yannes (Trafford)


“Of interest to the collector and educational for the casual reader of history,” the title of US Army veteran Yannes’ indispensable cutlery compendium received high praise from the panel. The epic “explores the relevant historical highlights which in turn illuminate this unique period in history as reflected by the spoons” and runs to 19,000 words. Yours for just £13(ish), no longer will you ever have to ponder: “What did the dessert spoons used on the Kriegsmarine’s U-47 look like?”

Much like inflammatory bowels, both spoons and the Nazis have Diagram form. Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan missed out to The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America in '06, while both How Green Were the Nazis? and Detecting Fake Nazi Regalia made previous Diagram shortlists.

Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes
by Daina Taimina(A K Peters)


More “Riemannian manifold with negative Gaussian curvature” than “crochet charts”, Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes is the bestselling book on this odd-title shortlist, having notched up a colossal 34 sales in the UK and a tremendous 588 copies in the US. The gripping yarn will keep you hooked to the final chapter: “Who is Interested in Hyperbolic Geometry Now and How Can it be Used?”

Spotted by: Booth Book Publishing’s Stuart Booth

Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots
by Ronald C Arkin (CRC Press)


The essential guide to any owner of a T-1000, Georgia Tech roboticist/roboethicist Arkin’s 2009 work has sold into double figures in the UK, and clocked up an electrifying 94 copies in the US. Noel Sharkey of the University of Sheffield deemed it a “must read”. Quite. After all, where else can one find an exploration of a new breed of robots, illustrating that “the first steps toward creating robots that not only conform to international law but outperform human soldiers in their ethical capacity are within reach in the future”.

So, these “humane-oids” 
will no doubt refuse to participate in any “regime changes” 
that could, perhaps, be seen to be breaking UN 
resolutions, then?

Spotted by: Foyles’ web editor Jonathan Ruppin

What Kind of Bean is this Chihuahua?
by Tara Jansen-Meyer (Mirror)


Seemingly a children’s book on race (“where kids learn it’s OK to be different”), the title suggests pre-school children will instead learn what kind of bean (runner, mung?) a chihuahua is. Last time I checked, it was a dog, but I defer to Jansen-Meyer’s expertise. Sales in the UK have thus far been disappointing, but a jacket revamp should do the trick—putting "Meyer" in huge, white letters on a black background might be an idea. Rumours of a follow-up, 
What Kind of Asparagus is this Shetland Pony?, are disappointingly still just rumours.

Spotted by The Bookseller subscriber Jay Omotoso

Afterthoughts of a Worm Hunter
by David Crompton (Glenstrae Press)


All proceeds from the sales of helminthologist (look it up) Crompton’s notes on his worm-hunting travels go to the Glasgow Centre for International Development’s scholarship fund. Sadly, however, sales in the UK and US (according to Nielsen BookScan) total precisely no copies whatsoever. One assumes, of course, that BookScan simply does not cover the traditional sales outlets for worm-hunting tomes.

Two other wormy tomes have made previous Diagram shortlists. New Guinea Tapeworms and Jewish Grandmothers made the '81 shortlist, while Earthworms of Ontario missed out to Reusing Old Graves in '95. Crompton's Worms could wriggle a win. Said Sir Kenneth Calman, Chancellor of the University of Glasgow (where Crompton is an honorary professor): “I am always attracted to a book with an interesting title, and what could be more intriguing than Afterthoughts of a Worm Hunter?” It is a question that I leave to you, dear reader...

The James Tiptree Award has announced the winner for 2010, and once again two works have been chosen. The winners are:

    * Cloud & Ashes: Three Winter’s Tales, Greer Gilman (Small Beer Press)
    * Ooku: The Inner Chambers (volumes 1 & 2), Fumi Yoshinaga (Viz Media)

The press release includes the following notes:

    Cloud & Ashes contains three memorable and poetic tales that draw images and elements from folk tales and ballads of the British Isles. Told in lyrical Jacobeanesque dialect, the stories are striking for their language and their originality.

    Juror Paul Kincaid praised Cloud & Ashes as “A book whose hold on your mind, on your memory, is assured. It is a story about story, and stories are what we are all made of.” Jury chair Karen Fowler reflected on the intriguing complexity of the interwoven themes in the work: “Patterns repeat, but also mutate in kaleidoscopic fashion and then mutate again…. Power shiftts about, much of it gender-based; time eats itself like a Moebius strip.”

    The first two stories in Cloud & Ashes were published previously. The first, “Jack Daw’s Pack,” was a Nebula finalist for 2001. The second, “A Crowd of Bone”, won the 2003 World Fantasy Award. The third story, “Unleaving,” is original to Cloud & Ashes.

    Fumi Yoshinaga’s Ooku: The Inner Chambers (volumes 1 & 2) explores an alternate version of feudal Japan, in which a plague has killed three out of every four boys. In this world, young men are protected and sheltered; women have secretly taken positions of authority and power. The Japanese ruler or shogun and the feudal lords are women and much of the story takes place among the men in the shogun’s harem. The title of the work refers to the living quarters for the shogun’s harem, contained within Edo Castle.

    The selection of Ooku: The Inner Chambers marks the first time that manga has been chosen for the Tiptree Award. Though no one on the jury is an expert on manga or on Japanese history, the jurors fell in love with the detailed exploration of the world of these books, a world in which men are assumed to be weak and sickly, yet women still use symbolic masculinity to maintain power. Throughout the two books, Yoshinaga explores how the deep gendering of this society is both maintained and challenged by the alteration in ratios. “The result,” juror Jude Feldman writes, “is a fascinating, subtle, and nuanced speculation with gender at its center.”

    Ooku was awarded the Sense of Gender award by the Japanese Association of Feminist Science Fiction and Fantasy (2005), the Excellence Award at Japan’s Media Arts Festival (2006), and the Grand Prize in Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize (2009).

The full jury this year’s Tiptree Award was: Karen Joy Fowler (chair), Jude Feldman, Paul Kincaid, Alexis Lothian, and Victor Raymond.

The honor list for this year is as follows:

    * “Beautiful White Bodies”, Alice Sola Kim (Strange Horizons)
    * Distances, Vandana Singh (Aqueduct Press 2008)
    * “Galapagos”, Caitlin R. Kiernan (Eclipse 3, Night Shade Books)
    * Lifelode, Jo Walton (NESFA Press 2009)
    * “Useless Things”, Maureen F. McHugh (Eclipse 3, Night Shade Books)
    * “Wives”, Paul Haines (X6, coeur de lion)

The press release adds:

    In addition, the jury wishes to extend a special honor to L. Timmel Duchamp’s Marq’ssan Cycle, noting the importance of this stunning series, which envisions radical social and political change. Published over a period of four years, this five-book series began with Alanya to Alanya (Aqueduct Press, 2005) and concluded with Stretto (Aqueduct Press, 2008).

The awards will be presented at Wiscon at the end of May.

Lepa i mesana lista. Wooding se, doduse, malo izdvaja iz drustva ali se ne zalim, svidja mi se kako covek pise. Mrtva trka izmedju ostalih.

April 2, 2010 (datum objave vesti)

2009 Philip K. Dick Award Winner Announced (nagrada Philip K. Dick za 2009 - naziv nagrade)
first time during 2009 (prvi put tokom 2009)
BITTER ANGELS by C. L. Anderson (Ballantine Books Spectra)

CYBERABAD DAYS by Ian McDonald (Pyr)

The 2009 award (nagrada je 2009-te) was given to EMISSARIES OF THE DEAD by Adam-Troy Castro (Eos)

The 2009 (u 2009-toj) judges were Daniel Abraham (chair), Eileen Gunn, Karen Hellekson, Elaine Isaak, and Marc Laidlaw.

This year’s (ovogodišnje) judges are William Barton, Andy Duncan, Bruce McAllister, Melinda M. Snodgrass, and David Walton.

Ovo ti je, otprilike, prevod datuma. Smetnuo si s uma jedno veliko slovo. Jebote, kako čitaš na engleskom?
Ustvari, baš me briga, ali si sa "svojim" topikom tako opteretio sajt da se učitava beskrajno dugo.

Mislis na ovo?

Pravo da ti kazem, uvek sam kapirao da je godina nagrade ona u kojoj se dodeljuje, a ne ona za koju se dodeljuje. Na primer, The 2009. Nebula nagrada mogla biti dodeljena i delu iz 2007. Cak su i prenosioci vesti izbegli da citiraju ove godine sa zvanicnog sajta vec su je preneli prepricano:

Нисам хтео да нижем мак на конац. Више ми смета топик "Глупости". Тамо сад неконтролисано линкују све и свашта па се оптерећује страна, топик, а и сајт. Да је мој сајт забранио бих такво повезивање. Посебно за материјал који није на нивоу сајта.

Meni se priča uopšte nije dopala.
Miloše, ništa lično, ukusi su različiti.
Ne znam, meni su  izrazi tipa : truli impotentni kurac, drkanje po ikonama, jebanje mrtve mačke i slično, stvarno bezveze.. to ne može da me ni isprovocira ni zgadi, jednostavno osećam prazninu kad tako nešto čitam. Pola priče mi deluje kao obični anticrkveni pamflet.
Probajte sad da ne skočite svi na mene, ponavljam ukusi su različiti.

Priča nije anticrkveni pamflet.
A što se tiče toga što si ovde naveo (i što ne treba da te zgadi, nije u tome poenta), to si izvukao iz konteksta i molio bih te da to više ne radiš, pošto tako zvuči zlonamerno (ne kažem da jeste, ali tako deluje). Ako želiš, objasniću ti (na pm) zašto ta scena postoji u priči, iako to ne volim da radim (da objašnjavam ono što sam napisao).
Dakle, nemam ja problem što ti se ne sviđa priča, i da je samo to u pitanju ne bih ni reagovao, ali imam problem sa komentarima koji će nekog drugog, potencijalog čitaoca navesti na pogrešan trag, a tvoj komentar je upravo takav.

Inače, s obzirom na moju "naklonost" prozi ovog tipa, mislim da je ova priča prilično solidna.

Miloše, pošalji slobodno na pm.
Ja sam stekao takav utisak o priči. Nije mi cilj da bilo koga navodim na išta, niti od toga imam bilo šta. Samo kažem kako sam je ja doživeo, ako kažem da mi se priča ne sviđa, valjda je red da kažem zašto, a ne da samo onako ostavim ,, ne sviđa mi se ''. Mislim da takav pristup zaista ne bi bio pošten.
Nema potrebe za ikakvim tenzijama, svako mora biti svestan da se njegova priča neće svima dopasti. Ako sam pogrešno razumeo priču, nije nikakav problem da to ispravim.

Ja koji u crkvu ulazim samo sa upaljenom bakljom zaista ne vidim kakav je ovo anticrkveni pamflet. Da, jedan od likova u afektu izriče neke stvari koje deluju kao stereotipne anticrkvene parole, ali to očigledno nije poenta priče. Štaviše, koliko god cinično iskrivljena poenta na kraju bila, nema sumnje u to da je ovde sveštenik predstavljen kao figura koja istinski brine o svojoj pastvi i stara se onjoj. Dakle, nije to baš tako anticrkeveno koliko ume da bude.

Ok, Milosh mi je sad razjasnio neke dileme koje sam imao, oko koncepta ove priče.
Shvatio sam je na pogrešan način.
U svakom slučaju, nikako mi nije bila namera da Miloshu odvlačim čitaoce, niti bilo šta slično.

Ja sam užasnut što je Miloš pokleknuo pred tvojim opservacijama i pružio ti pojašnjenje. Onda sledeći put nek piše esej a ne priču, jebiga.

Zašto si užasnut ? Valjda je potrebna komunikacija pisac- čitalac ? Šta je problem da se razjasni nešto, ako nije jasno ? Bolje je to, nego da još neki čitalac pogrešno razume priču.

Pa, Meho, poslao sam mu pm (samo i jedino njemu i nikom više!), baš zato da ne bi ispalo da javno pojašnjavam, kad ono...

Znam da sad zvučim kao neviđeni drkadžija, ali Eriopse, ako sam ti poslao pm umesto da to isto pišem na forumu to onda znači da ne želim da moja objašnjenja (pa čak ni citirani fragmenti) budu javna. Hajde, molim te, ako ti nije teško malo izedituj ovaj tvoj pretposlednji post (tj. ukloni drugu rečenicu), a ako još neko pogrešno razume priču neka bude tako... Hvala.

Bolje je tako... Hvala još jednom, a posebno hvala što si uopšte pročitao priču i odlučio da daš (kakav god) komentar.

Dakle, ovo je bilo one time only, ako je još neko pogrešno razumeo priču moraće da živi sa tim (a i ja...). :evil:

Živimo i sa težim stvarima, pa ćemo i sa ovim, ali... ne treba to da pređe u praksu. Komunikacija između čitaoca i autora? Pa, može, ali zamisli situaciju u kojoj Džejmsu Džojsu dolazi petsto ili hiljadu čitalaca da im pojasni da li je Blumovo ponašanje u crkvi "anticrkveno" i da li je orgazam koji mlada devojka ima na plaži gledajući Blumovu muževnu figuru zapravo dečija pornografija.

Hoću da kažem, kad neko već čita ili piše prozu onda treba da poštuje njen umetnički integritet a ne da je tretira kao pamfletsko štivo.

THE AIM OF THE AUTHOR BLOG AWARDS

There are over 10,000 published and unpublished authors blogging to readers, writers and industry professionals. Despite huge loyal followings and a remarkable wealth of new content, many readers remain unaware of these blogs.

The Author Blog Awards is brought to you by CompletelyNovel and aims to honour the best blogs by both published and unpublished writers. They will recognise the writers who use their blogs to connect with readers in the most imaginative, engaging and inspiring ways. At the same time we hope to attract new audiences to these blogs and help readers find out more about the authors they love…and new authors too.

Blogs are a great, affordable means for any writer to reach their audience directly – so we want to recognise the best of them!

China Miéville has become the first author to win the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award on three separate occasions.

His novel The City & The City (Macmillan) was one of six novels shortlisted for the Award, the UK’s premier prize for science fiction literature.

Speaking after the announcement China Miéville said:

'This has been a truly fantastic shortlist: it's been a huge honour to be on it, shortlists being probably the most important aspect of any award. And now after all that is the astonishment of hearing that my book won. I couldn't be more moved by and grateful for the honour the judges have done this book.”

Chair of the Judges Paul Billinger, said:

"Having now chaired the judging meetings for a number of years I keep expecting that just once the choice of winner of the Arthur C Clarke Award will be clear and obvious: but not this year. The decision was incredible close but in the end The City and the City just came out ahead."

Tom Hunter, administrator for the Arthur C. Clarke Award added:

“The reaction to this year’s shortlist has been amazing, and the discussion so genuinely impassioned. What’s pleased me most has been the fact that every book shortlisted this year has had it’s camp of enthusiastic advocates, and I don’t think there’s been a list that’s been a tougher call than this for many a year.

“I delighted with this result for China. The City & The City is a brilliant book by one our greatest writers, in any genre, and a fantastic result for the Arthur C. Clarke Award.”

China Miéville has previously won the Award with Perdido Street Station in 2001 and Iron Council in 2005.

Authors Pat Cadigan and Geoff Ryman have also both won twice in the Award’s twenty-four year history.

This year’s six shortlisted titles were selected from a long list of forty-one eligible submissions put forward by seventeen different publishing houses and imprints.

The annual award is presented for the best science fiction novel of the year, and selected from a list of novels whose UK first edition was published in the previous calendar year.

The winner receives a prize of £2010 along with a commemorative engraved bookend.

The judging panel for the 2010 Arthur C. Clarke Award were Chris Hill and Jon Courtenay Grimwood for the British Science Fiction Association, Francis Spufford and Rhiannon Lassiter for the Science Fiction Foundation and Paul Skevington for the science fiction news website SF Crowsnest.com. Paul Billinger represented the Arthur C. Clarke Award as the Chair of Judges.

Award Administrator Tom Hunter and editor of SFX Magazine David Bradley, media partners of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, presented the prize in front of a full house of publishers, authors and members of the science fiction community at a special award ceremony held on the opening night of the SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival: www.sci-fi-london.com

U pitanju je hajp... ali opravdani  8-) Doduse, znam i ljude kojima je bio dosadan. Bezi od jedine prevedene knjige u nas. Inace, The City & The City se potpuno razlikuje od svega sto je do tada napisao tako da ne znam koliko bi, samo on, bio relevantan za procenu njegovog lika i dela.

Best Fannish Cat  xrofl

This year’s Australian NatCon, held in conjunction with Aussiecon 4, will be a lighthearted affair. As you might guess from the name, Dudcon, they are not taking themselves very seriously. They will, of course, present the Ditmar Awards, but alongside that they have resurrected a legendary Australian fan award: Best Fannish Cat.

According to their website, the rules of the award are as follows:

   1. Only financial members of Dudcon III (49th Australian National SF Convention) are eligible to nominate for this award and may nominate up to three different nominees.
   2. Only financial members of Dudcon III (49th Australian National SF Convention) are eligible to vote for this award.
   3. Nominees must be natural members of the species Felis Catus.
   4. Nominees must be resident in Australia at the time of nomination.
   5. Nominees must be alive at the time of nomination.
   6. Nominators may be asked to substantiate the “Fannish” aspect of the nominee. Ownership by or association with fans would ordinarily be sufficient.
   7. This rule intentionally left blank.
   8.
   9. All decisions of the award committee will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.

In the spirit of our Recommendation Lists we invite persons owned by fannish cats who qualify for nomination to link to pictures of their owners in comments below. LOLcat captions are optional.

A Genre Like Any Other


It is Booker Prize season again, and therefore time for wailing and gnashing of teeth around the blogosphere.

First up, if you want to see the long list, it can be found here.

And now the controversy. Last year, you may remember, Kim Stanley Robinson complained about the lack of recognition for his type of novel, and Booker judge John Mullan made a complete ass of himself by saying that the award didn’t look at science fiction because SF is, “bought by a special kind of person who has special weird things they go to and meet each other.” Unsurprisingly, a few noses were put out of joint.

This year the chairman of the judges, Andrew Motion, has tried to head off any discussion by insisting that, despite the apparent lack of SF on the list, the jury did not “consciously” exclude it. That, of course, is exactly the same argument put forward by people defending all-white-male award lists. It is the “I’m not racist/sexist/etc., it is just that the books by white men are better than anything else” argument.

Motion compounds this with a foray into victim politics. According to The Guardian he said, “the Man Booker prize was an award for literary fiction and there were plenty of prizes for crime and sci-fi.”

That, of course, is as clear an admission as you can get that the Booker is not a general award for the “best” books of the year, but actually a very specific award for a very specific type of book: “literary fiction”.

Remember, the whole point of genre is that it is a marketing tool aimed at helping readers find “more like this”. Books are identified as belonging to a genre if they have common tropes, a small subset of expected plot structures, and generally are predictable. People whose reading is confined to a particular genre are people who don’t like reading outside of their comfort zone. Clearly Motion is one of those people.

Exactly how a “literary fiction” novel is identified is not clear, though I’m sure that Motion will know one when he sees one, just as Damon Knight did for SF. Anecdotally such books have been about middle-aged university professors with unhappy marriages who have affairs, and indeed sex seems to be an important trope as Motion bemoans the lack of it in this year’s potential nominees. The important point, however, is that “literary fiction” is not defined by being well written, it is defined by the fact that it conforms to the expectations of the literary fiction genre. A book that is well written, but does not conform to the expectations of “literary fiction” is, in Motion’s eyes, not a potential Booker candidate.

On the other side of the fence, Paul Graham Raven argues that we in the SF ghetto should not care if Motion and his pals don’t read our books. Indeed, we should worry if they did, because if they outside world ever finds out what we are up to, and starts to like it, our art will be horribly polluted by their attention.

This is exactly the same argument I am used to hearing from the crusties at Worldcon. “Don’t pay any attention to the likes of Dragon*Con and Comic-Con,” they wail, “if the sort of people who attend those events came to Worldcon our little club would be ruined, ruined I tell you!”

There’s a certain type of person who likes living in a ghetto, who likes having exclusive interests that few other people share. Often such people feel better if the outside world despises them, because it makes them feel even more special. And if that’s what they want to do, fine, but they shouldn’t expect everyone else with similar interests to want to stay in the ghetto with them. After all, for the writers (and publishers) there is money at stake; lots of it.

Of course popular culture has already invaded the science fiction ghetto. For the most part SF outsells literary fiction very nicely thank you. SF&F books can often be found on the NYT best seller lists. Sometimes they are by big names such as Rowling, Pratchett and Gaiman; in other cases they are franchised works such as the Star Wars novels (some of which are written by favorite authors of mine such as Karen Traviss and Sean Williams). So it is, I think, ridiculous to argue that SF would come to any further harm by being associated with the Booker.

What that association would do, however, is improve the sales prospects of some of the best writers in our field. Because while the Booker judges might think that their prize is only for that small subset of books that they identify as “literary”, the media and the book trade treat it as a prize for the best book of the year. Books that make the long list can expect a huge bump in sales, and the winner is guaranteed a print run in the millions.

That is why the Booker matters. If Motion and his pals want to have an award just for the sort of books that they like, that’s fine by me, but they have no right to claim that their little genre is any better than anyone else’s genre, and the media and book trade should not treat them as if it is.

The funny thing is, of course, that last year the Booker went to an historical novel, Wolf Hall, which is most definitely not a work in the literary fiction genre. Furthermore, this year there’s at least one other apparent historical fiction book on the long list. Except that, as I noted a few days ago, it is actually the first book in a trilogy of novels about immortality, with at least one immortal character in it. So despite Mr. Motion’s protestations, the Booker judges do have an SF novel on the list. It must have been the lack of talking squid that confused them.

pa, valjda bi trebala biti, ali đavo ga zna gde je zapravo.
Sećam se jedne rasprave o istoj temi u kojoj je jedan baja mrtav-ladan izjavio kako je suludo očekivati da za respektabilnu nagradu mogu/trebaju konkurisati knjige sa ritardiranim naslovnicama kakve se već u žanru mogu naći.  :(

A onda tu bude i stoički getoiziranih mišljenja kao što je ovo:

Booker Prize longlist snubs genre fiction (again); should we give a damn?
Paul Raven @ 28-07-2010

It’s that time of year once again where Britain’s booklovers (and others around the world) get to see and discuss the longlist of nominations for the prestigious Booker Prize. And, as is traditional, there’s a complete lack of genre fiction on it; cue much kvetching from the genre fiction scene. (Like we need an excuse, right?)
At the risk of sounding contrarian, I really don’t think it matters. Sure, there’s the argument that genre titles and authors would benefit from the prestige and exposure, but in response I’d say you can’t miss what you’ve never had, and Dan Brown’s certainly not suffering from lack of acclaim by juried prizes (more’s the pity).

What we love to read just isn’t widely appreciated; perhaps it could be (if we assume that the sort of person who consciously chooses “literary” fiction over any other sort is no more picky or prejudiced than someone who consciously expresses a preference for “genre” fiction, and that they would be influenced toward something they previously turned their noses up at because of an award nomination, which are pretty big assumptions, not to mention ones that probably wouldn’t wash if you reversed the polarity of the preferences in question), but it’s not. And while I’d love for the authors I most enjoy to be rich, successful and still cranking out great books, I really struggle to care that they’re not on that list.
As a cautionary parable, I’d point out that this reminds me of the way I and my fellow thrash metal fans at college used to bemoan the lack of mainstream exposure and appreciation for our chosen genres. If only people had the opportunity and encouragement give this stuff a chance, they’d be able to appreciate the musicianship, give the imagery and symbolism a chance to sink in properly, understand that there’s more to it than studs, leather and album covers with demons on them. Wind forward a decade an a half, and we got our wish: MTV and daytime radio is full of watered-down imitations and knock-offs of authentic and innovative rock and metal music, enthusiastically and uncritically consumed by people to whom it’s nothing more than three minute chunks of momentary audio diversion. And so the subgenres move on and progress, continuing to develop new ideas (or new takes on old ideas, perhaps), pushing at the boundaries of expectation and possibility, and selling their work to a handful of thousand people worldwide; meanwhile, mass-market cookie-cutter product makes millions for middlemen and elevates talentless hacks to superstar status, simultaneously providing a whole new bunch of tired cliches for everyone outside your fandom to assume must apply to everything within it.

Be careful what you wish for, in other words; an explosion of public recognition for the obscure cultural product you love rarely works out the way you want it to. And every time we moan that prizes like the Booker don’t recognise the genius that resides within our ghetto, we confirm the opinion we assume that they hold of us: provincial geeks with marginal interests and a persecution complex. We wear the bruised vanity of the snubbed underdog like sackcloth and ashes, and it does us a disservice far greater than being passed over by a prize that – by its own implications and history, if not outright admission – is just as focussed on a small (if ill-defined) set of aesthetic criteria as our own in-ghetto awards.

Let it go, people. Let it go.

Ceremonija dodele nagrade HUGO počinje po srpskom vremenu u nedelju 5.12. u 12.00 (tačno u podne) (u Melburnu je tad 8 uveče, ako nekog zanima). Nemaju video link nego nešto malo čudnije, rekao bih: TRANSKRIPT dešavanja i govora u realnom vremenu.

Britansko udruženje za fantasy, British Fantasy Society, dodijelilo je na netom završenom FantasyConu svoje godišnje nagrade, koje dodjeljuju još od 1971. godine. Tko je sve bio nominiran pogledajte ovdje, a evo i tko su ovogodišnji dobitnici …

    * Najbolji roman – fantasy nagrada August Derleth: Conrad Williams: One
    * Najbolja pripovijetka: Sarah Pinborough: The Language of Dying
    * Najbolja kratka priča: Michael Marshall Smith: What Happens When You Wake Up in the Night
    * Najbolja antologija: Stephen Jones (ur.): The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror
    * Najbolja zbirka: Robert Shearman: Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical
    * Najbolji mali nakladnik: TELOS PUBLISHING
    * Najbolji strip: Neil Gaiman i Andy Kubert: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?
    * Najbolji umjetnik: Vincent Chong, za naslovnice The Witnesses Are Gone i The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 20
    * Najbolja feljtonistika: David Langford: Ansible
    * Najbolji časopis: Murky Depths, urednik Terry Martin.
    * Najbolji TV-uradak: Doctor Who, glavni scenarist Russell T. Davies
    * Najbolji film: Let the Right One In, režija Tomas Alfredson
    * Najbolji novi autor – nagrada Sydney J. Bounds: Kari Sperring za Living with Ghosts
    * Posebna nagrada Karl Edward Wagner: Robert Holdstock, prošle godine preminuli autor prilično slavnog Mythago Wooda.

Za znatiželjne, dodajmo još da se pobjednici ovdje određuju putem glasova članova BFS-a, FantasyCona 2009. i FantasyCona 2010, osim nagrade Sydney J. Bounds, koju dodjeljuje sudačka komisija i nagrade Karl Edward Wagner, koju dodjeljuju odbori BFS-a i FantasyCona 2010.

A ako vam se čini čudnim što većinu imena na ovom popisu ne poznajete (ako ih ne poznajete), nije zgorega znati kako je BFS u velikoj mjeri naklonjen hororu kao podžanru fantasyja, te će ova vijest, vjerojatno, više značiti čitateljima strave i užasa nego onima koji su orijentirani na “čisti” fantasy.

The 2010 Emperor Norton Awards winners are:

    * Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel, Paul Guinan & Anina Bennett (Abrams Image)
    * Trina Robbins, for her career in comics

The awards are given for “extraordinary invention and creativity unhindered by the constraints of paltry reason,” in memory of Joshua Norton I, Emperor of the United States of America and Protector of Mexico. Two awards are presented, one to a single work of science fiction, fantasy, or horror, or to an author in these genres; the second to any creation, creator, or service relating to those genres. Norton judges are Richard Lupoff, Alan Beatts, and Jacob Weisman. Winners were announced at the Tachyon Publications Anniversary Party, held September 19, 2010 at Borderlands Books in San Francisco.

Quote
Meet Boilerplate, the world’s first robot soldier—not in a present-day military lab or a science-fiction movie, but in the past, during one of the most fascinating periods of U.S. history. Designed by Professor Archibald Campion in 1893 as a prototype, for the self-proclaimed purpose of “preventing the deaths of men in the conflicts of nations,” Boilerplate charged into combat alongside such notables as Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia. Campion and his robot also circled the planet with the U.S. Navy, trekked to the South Pole, made silent movies, and hobnobbed with the likes of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla.
 
You say you’ve never heard of Boilerplate before? That’s because this book is the fanciful creation of a husbandand-wife team who have richly imagined these characters and inserted them into accurate retellings of history. This full-color chronicle is profusely illustrated with graphics mimicking period style, including photos, paintings, posters, cartoons, maps, and even stereoscope cards. Part Jules Verne and part Zelig, it’s a great volume for a broad range of fans of science fiction, history, and robots.

It is Booker Prize season again, and therefore time for wailing and gnashing of teeth around the blogosphere.

First up, if you want to see the long list, it can be found here.

And now the controversy. Last year, you may remember, Kim Stanley Robinson complained about the lack of recognition for his type of novel, and Booker judge John Mullan made a complete ass of himself by saying that the award didn’t look at science fiction because SF is, “bought by a special kind of person who has special weird things they go to and meet each other.” Unsurprisingly, a few noses were put out of joint.

Pre par dana China Mieville imao je high noon diskusiju sa Mullanom povodom ovih desavanja koja je Amanda prijavila. Okrsaj se odigrao na Cheltenham Literary Festivalu, pa koga zanima nek progugla malo.

Elem, nisam uspela da nađem topik o Aleksandru Novakoviću, pa stavljam ovu yellowcab vest ovde:


Nagrada V.B.Z. za roman "Vođa"Aleksandra Novakovića

Izdavačka kuća V.B.Z. sa sedištem u Zagrebu, saopštila je da je nagradu za najbolji neobjavljen roman 2010. dodelila Aleksandru Novakoviću iz Beograda za knjigu "Vođa".

Odluku je doneo žiri u čijem su sastavu Miljenko Jergović (predsednik), Zoran Ferić, Julijana Matanović, Strahimir Primorac i Vladimir Arsenijević.

Napomenuvši da je reč o najvećoj i najvrednijoj nagradi u regionu, V.B.Z. je najavio da će ona, u iznosu od 100.000 kuna, Novakoviću biti uručena sutra na svečanosti u  Kongresnom centru Zagrebačkog velesajma.

"Roman "Vođa" strašna je priča o svim našim zločinima i o svim našim zločincima kojih je bilo u prošlosti, ima ih i danas, a biće ih i u budućnosti. Taj kratki roman univerzalna je priča o zlu koja ne poznaje granice, koja je jednako razumljiva svuda", navedeno je o knjizi Noakovića, rođenog 1975. godine u Beogradu.

Diplomirani istoričar i dramaturg, maistar nauka o dramskim umetnostima iz oblasti studija pozorišta, piše romane, drame, aforizme, pesme i kratke priče. Trenutno radi na doktoratu iz oblasti studija pozorišta.

Novaković je dobitnik više nagrada, među kojima i nagrade Josip Kulundžić za izuzetan uspeh na polju dramaturgije (2004), Vibove nagrada (2001) i nagrade Zlatna kaciga (1997).

Nagradu V.B.Z. treći put je osvojio autor iz Srbije. Prethodno su je dobili Jelena Marković 2003. za roman "Escajg za teletinu" i Predrag Crnković 2008. za roman "Beograd za pokojnike".

Hm, interesantna tišina od strane auditorijuma koji je Aleksandra (i za manje nagrađivano delo) zvao na promociju…  :evil:

(No dobro, ne bi bilo prvi put da talenat plati cenu političke nepodobnosti…  xuss)

"Keltska priča" mi je bila toliko slaba da mi je svaka dalja vest o autoru iste nezanimljiva.

Na Konkursu Lazara Komarčića, Aleksandar Novaković je osvojio 36. mesto. Čovek koji nije u stanju da napiše 2 pričice, nije u stanju da napiše roman.
Tvrdim da on nije napisao taj roman. Roman je napisao neko drugi, po narudžbini, a Novaković je samo uzeo malo para, ne tamo nekih 13.000 jevara, da bi glumio pisca i posejao konfuziju među naivčinama.
Žao mi je, ali mislim da je izuzetno naivan svako ko je poverovao u ovu idijotsku "istinu"...
Ovo je očigledno čisti politički projekt.

Ne preterujmo sa teorijama zavere. Novakovic je pisac i dramaturg i ne vidim mesta za sumnju u njegovo autorstvo. O kvalitetu tog pisanja mozemo raspravljati (posto procitamo roman). Sto se tice politicke projektnosti tek to nema veze sa prethodne dve stavke.

Nisam tebi rekao nego Lidiji. Tvoju primedbu sam sasvim dobro razumeo. :)


Pa, eto, ako je suditi po ranim reakcijama, slutim da će ova nagrada Aleksandra dosta koštati.
 S druge strane, sve što ga ne ubije učiniće ga jačim, a pominjane reakcije će mu svakako ponuditi obilje prilika da izbliza proučava razna stanja ljudskog duha. :)

Novaković je izuzetno prolifičan autor. Tako sam bar ja čuo - i to od njegovih prijatelja/poznanika. Čovek je napisao na stotine drama, na primer. Melkor je u pravu kada kaže da ne treba sumnjati da je AN napisao Vođu.

Odustala unutar deset strana… vrlo banalan stil, bez mrve prijemčivosti. Bar meni.
Srce mi se cepa što bijem nominovanu ženskadiju ali bojim se da ni Elizabet neće isporučiti moju šoljicu čaja... :( Ima nečeg silno smarajućeg u ovom romanu, ne verujem da ću mu se vratim.

Zanima me Itoh, to bi volela da overim. I Knapp obećava, ali proveriću detaljnije tek za vikend.

Inače, evo ti malo da primirišeš Sarin roman:

Quote
CHAPTER 1

Turquoise and black. She watches the beetle stalking over stones and dirt. Its long, feathery legs sink into apatch of woven moss and it flounders. But the harder it struggles, the more tangled it becomes. With one finger she could rescue it.

Rolling onto her back, she closes her eyes. It's been years since she felt the gentle heat of the sun on her face,and then it was a different star. It's been years since she cried. The sun dries each tear on her cheek.

She turns her head, opens her eyes to focus beyond the beetle to a seed falling in the distance, clean metal lines gleaming. Six meters long, bullet-shaped and deadly. Another falls, even farther away. And another. One thousand silent intruders drop from the sky to burrow into the planet's skin.

The beetle chirps incessantly. A distress call. But she hasn't come here to save it.

She has come to destroy.

"Gotcha!"

Edie's boot slammed into the bulkhead with a satisfying squish.

She scraped the remains of the hapless roach off her heel, wrinkling her nose and
making a mental note to inform pest control--yet again. She was so used to doing their job for them, her interface didn't skip a beat.

Below the maintenance platform, the sharp, repeating clang of something hitting hollow metal was more distracting.

"Torres!"

He didn't answer. Edie withdrew her mind completely from the clutches of the biocyph connection, feeling the remaining trickle of the datastream disperse within her mind. She leaned over the handrail and squinted into the dimly lit freight car. Torres was propped against the bottom of the ladder, directly below, throwing a kid's ball against the opposite wall.

"Can you cut that out? You're driving me and the roaches crazy."

Torres scowled, caught the ball, and stuffed it into his jacket pocket. Poor guy--the latest milit sent by CCU to stand guard while Edie went about her work on Talas Prime Station. A post so dull, he must view it as punishment.

Settling in front of the access panel, Edie pondered her next move. The call to check out a malfunctioning freight car had come through twenty minutes ago, dragging them both away from lunch, and she still hadn't figured out what was wrong. According to the log, the car's automated rails had jammed. The departures of three ships, including a schooner at the VIP dock, were delayed as they waited for cargo.

She jacked into the car's loading systems again. The stream of data flowed through her wet-teck interface. She had de-merged the program layers twice already and analyzed each tier in turn, searching for the glitch. It had to be simple. The freight loading system, though it looked like an impressively choreographed mechanical ballet from the cargo docks, was controlled by a straightforward set of routines. But this particular car ignored its instructions and refused to join
the dance.

Edie switched the loading routine back into diagnostic mode. It blinked a random
command and promptly stalled.

"Damn." She sat back on her heels and called out again. "Torres, you sure you checked those servos like I told you?"

Pa ekranizacija Zu Sitija bi bila genijalna. Bolje, sigurno, nego onaj film pravljen po onoj priči o nekim zmajevima, šta li... pisao neki Peilini, Pualoni, Poeloni, tako nešto... zove se Ergona, Argona, Eurogena, tako nešto...

Eragon, Kristofer Paolini. Kao 16togodišnjak napisao prvi deo serijala. Priča i imena likova pate od neoriginalnosti (mali je bukvalno pokrao imena iz drugih, poznatih EF serijala).

Ako se uzmu godine u obzir, to i nije...toliko loše. Drugi deo serijala je ponajbolji, dok mi je treći ubio želju za čitanjem nakon stotinu strana. Eto.  :oops:

Znam kako se zove, nego sam hteo da dočaram svoju, blago reći, neoduševljenost i Paolinijem i Eragonom.

Nije toliko loše, u pravu si, no problem je u glavi onog koji je mislio da će od njegove knjige napraviti, pa... iole gledljiv film. Ja sam zaspao tokom filma (nisam siguran koji smajli da stavim, pa ću staviti oba).  xrofl :(

Knjigu nisam čitala, pokušala da odgledam film... Pokušala i uz letimično bacanje pogleda dok film teče a ja radim nešto drugo... Nije išlo.

A ako govorimo o mazohizmu, kada su u vreme praznika davali prvi Twilight na televiziji, uspela sam da ga odgledam, i zaključila da ono treba uspeti. Da baš to želim da uradim (nemam pojma zašto, al' nema veze), nemam ni najblažu predstavu kako to uraditi.

U smislu da sve vreme imaš osećaj da se ne dešava ama baš ništa. Ne znam kako su to postigli.

Mislim, u većini scena se zaista ništa ne dešava - oni stoje i pričaju, sede i pričaju, leže i pričaju (a ne radi se o dvanaest gnevnih ljudi koji sede i pričaju o tome hoće li klinca proglasiti krivim za ubistvo i time ga osuditi na smrt)... Ali ima i nekoliko scena u kojima bi nešto, kao, trebalo da se dešava - on je spase kad umalo da je pregazi kombi, spase je od nekih baraba koje je spopadaju, scena vampirskoj bejzbola (u njoj se čak i oseti poneka trunka energije), nju pred kamerom krvnički muči mnogo gadan vampir (lomljenje kostiju i sl.) pa se onda dobri vampiri obračunaju s njim - a i dalje imaš osećaj da se apsolutno ništa ne dešava.

Taj "ništa se ne dešava i samo po odjavnoj špici znaš da je film završen" osećaj sam imala i prilikom gledanja filmova Anga Lija, ali Twilight ga u tome žestoko šije.

Zna li neko u čemu je fora, kako se postiže taj osećaj?

« Reply #188 on: 29-01-2011, 03:52:17 »
Karen Lord Wins Crawford Award

— posted Friday 28 January 2011 @ 9:34 am UTC

Karen Lord has been named the winner of the 2011 William L. Crawford Award for her first novel Redemption in Indigo (Small Beer Press). The award, presented annually at The International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts, is for a new fantasy writer whose first book appeared in the previous year. This year’s conference will be held March 16-20, 2010 in Orlando FL.

The award committee shortlisted Lauren Beukes’s Zoo City (Angry Robot), N.K. Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (Orbit), and Anna Kendall’s Crossing Over (Gollancz/Viking Juvenile), and wanted to commend two other authors: Robert Jackson Bennett for Mr. Shivers (Orbit) and Amelia Beamer The Loving Dead (Night Shade), which was viewed by some nominators as centrally a science fiction work. Science fiction is excluded under the terms established by the award’s founding sponsor, Andre Norton.

Those participating, in varying degrees, in this year’s nomination and selection process included Niall Harrison, Cheryl Morgan, Graham Sleight, Paul Witcover, John Clute, Jonathan Strahan, Liza Trombi, Farah Mendlesohn, Ellen Klages, and Kelly Link (who, as publisher of Small Beer Press, recused herself from final voting).

Ih, k'o da sam znao, nedavno mi stigla knjiga  8-)

Možda je Džejmisonova najizglednija, a nakon nje rekao bih Koni Vilis. Zanimljivo kako Mystery Knight nije u konkurenciji za novelu.

Hm, interesantno ta Koni Vilis šema sa nominacijom ta dva romana. Zapravo se radi o jedinstvenom romanu koji je objavljen u dva dela, valjda zbog glomaznosti. Knjige jesu podebele, što jes’ - jes’… ko bi rekao da će Koni ovako prolifično da ispuni pauzu…  :shock:

Sad me zanima kako će se to računati, ako Koni uzme Nebulu; kao osam ukupno, za osam naslova?

Gledao sam nešto juče - ispade da Martin ni za jedan roman u serijalu PLIV nije dobio ni Huga ni Nebulu. Dobro, sa izuzetkom one prve novele. Razumem za Huga, ali kako je moguće da mu je Nebula izmakla? Počinjem da sumnjam u relevantnost tih nagrada.

Devedeset sedme Nebula je otišla Vondi Makintajer za The Moon and the Sun. Uz sve dužno poštovanje, za taj roman nisam ni čuo, a kamoli ga pročitao. Devedeset devete Nebulu je dobila Oktavija Batler za Parable of the Talents. Dve 'iljade prve, džebena Ketrin Azaro za The Quantum Rose  :x. I tako dalje. Nešto sam se nameračio da pročitam sve dobitnike Nebula i Hugoa, i to ću sprovesti u delo čim pazarim e-reader.

Uf, penitenziagite!  :o

Iskreno, bolje nemoj: jes' da ima dosta naslova koji su itekako valjali u svoje vreme, ali ih je isto dobrano pregazilo, a onda ima i dosta naslova koji ni onda nisu bili bog zna kako vredni čitanja. Osim u izuzetnim situacijama, tipa dugog boravka u zatvorskoj samici ili vojnom karantinu iz vremena variole vere.  :mrgreen:

The 2011 Arthur C Clarke Award Shortlist
« Reply #217 on: 04-03-2011, 13:31:28 »
    * Zoo City – Lauren Beukes (Angry Robot)
    * The Dervish House – Ian McDonald (Gollancz)
    * Monsters of Men – Patrick Ness (Walker Books)
    * Generosity – Richard Powers (Atlantic Books)
    * Declare – Tim Powers (Corvus)
    * Lightborn – Tricia Sullivan (Orbit)

The Arthur C Clarke Award is a juried award for the best work of science fiction published in Britain in the previous year. It’s judged from the works submitted by publishers so it’s theoretically possible for the award to miss out on options they would have liked to consider had they only been submitted. The “published in Britain in the previous year” is why an award-winning novel published in 2000 made it onto the shortlist this year: Tim Powers’s Declare only had its first UK publication in 2010.

These are six books from six different publishers (out of the twenty-two which submitted books this year), by four men and two women, one culmination of a trilogy, and five standalones. As more than one has already commented, the list features four authors of American origin (although some of them have lived in the UK for years) and one South African, Lauren Beukes. Only one of them, Ian McDonald, has been British and lived in Britain for the majority of his life. This is a point worth mentioning because the Clarke Award is specifically a British award, albeit for what’s published in the country rather than where those authors come from. In more trivial statistics: one-word titles make up 50% of the shortlist, but that’s not too disproportionate – they made up 27% of the list of eligible submissions. It was also a good year to have the last name “Powers”.

The shortlist was chosen by this year’s judging panel: Jon Courtenay Grimwood and Martin Lewis for the BSFA, Phil Nanson and Liz Williams for the Science Fiction Foundation, and Paul Skevington for SF Crowsnest.com. Paul Billinger chaired the judges on behalf of the award. They will all be busy re-reading the shortlist in the coming weeks, in preparation for the jury’s final meeting to choose the winner.

I’m looking forward to reading this list too; from the reviews I’ve read and initial reactions to the shortlist, it looks like quite a good one. I’ve only read Lightborn so far, although conveniently, I started Zoo City yesterday and have The Dervish House handy since I’m reading the BSFA novel shortlist, and those three books (but no others) overlap with the Clarke shortlist.

In the weeks between now and the 27th of April, when the jurors, having reread the shortlist, will meet again to decide on the winner, and the award will be given at the SCI-FI London Film Festival.

Inače, baš bi bilo zgodno da Zoo City pokupi Arthur C Clarke Award; posle toga bi komotno mogao i kakav horor roman da dođe na red…  :roll:

Ne samo to, nego je i pristup više SF nego UF. Jedna novotarija i uticaj te novotarije na društvo, uz pokušaje proučavanja familijara, svedočanstva iz različitih delova sveta i sl.

Meni je zanimljiviji nedostatak najnagradjivanije knjige prosle godine.

Ako misliš na curičku-na-navijanje, čini mi se da ne ispunjava propozicije.

Još nije objašnjeno poreklo cele te priče oko familijara, tako da je moguće da je objašnjenje zapravo SF.

Ehhhh, ne može to tako… da bi bilo SF, mora biti objašnjeno.
A i van tog (vrlo bitnog) problema sa poreklom, ni same posledice nisu ni mrvicu objašnjene, tako da…

ali drago mi je da vidim koliko ton proze može da zavede… priznajte iskreno, vama to liči na SF uglavnom zato što je ozbiljno napisano…   :!:

Liči na SF zbog ozbiljnog pristupa, da.

Pretpostavljam da se i tebi zbog toga dopada. :lol:

2010 Tiptree Award Winner Announced!

The James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award Council is pleased to announce that the 2010 Tiptree Award is being given to Baba Yaga Laid an Egg, by Dubravka Ugrešić (Canongate, 2010).

cover for BABA YAGA LAID AN EGG

Baba Yaga Laid an Egg impressed with its power and its grace. Tiptree juror Jessa Crispin explains that the beginning of the book “does not scream science fiction or fantasy. It starts quietly, with a meditation on the author’s aging mother, and the invisibility of the older woman…. But things shift wholly in the second act, with a surreal little tale of three old ladies, newly moneyed, who check into an Eastern European health spa. There’s another revolution in the third act, where what looks like a scholarly examination of the Russian fairy tale hag erupts into a rallying cry for mistreated and invisible women everywhere.”

Crispin notes that the fairy tale figure Baba Yaga is the witch, the hag, the inappropriate wild woman, the marginalized and the despised. She represents inappropriateness, wilderness, and confusion. “She’s appropriate material for Ugresic, who was forced into exile from Croatia for her political beliefs. The jurors feel Baba Yaga Laid an Egg is a splendid representation of this type of woman, so cut out of today’s culture.”


Ugrešićeva je inače prva žena koja je dobila NINa 1989 za Forsiranje romana-reke

A ovde ima i odlomak iz Baba-Jage

SAN DIEGO -- Comic-Con International (Comic-Con) is proud to announce the nominations for the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards 2011. The nominees, chosen by a blue-ribbon panel of judges, reflect the wide range of material being published in comics and graphic novel form today, from heartfelt autobiographical works to books aimed at kids and teens to deluxe hardcover archival editions. Unlike in past years, superheroes are very much in the minority in this year's selections.

Topping the 2011 nominees with 5 nominations is Return of the Dapper Men, a fantasy hardcover by writer Jim McCann and artist Janet Lee, published by Archaia. It has nods for Best Publication for Teens, Best Graphic Album–New, Best Writer, Best Artist, and Best Publication Design. Two comics series have 4 nominations: Morning Glories by Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma (published by Shadowline/Image) and Locke & Key by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez (published by IDW). A variety of titles have received 3 nominations, including the manga Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys (VIZ Media), John Layman and Rob Guillory's series Chew (Image), Daniel Clowes's graphic novel Wilson (Drawn & Quarterly), and Mike Mignola's Hellboy titles (Dark Horse).

The creator with the most nominations is Mignola with 5 (including cover artist), followed by Spencer and Hill, each with 4. Several creators have 3: McCann & Lee, Rodriquez, Urasawa, and Clowes, plus writer Ian Boothy (for Comic Book Guy: The Comic Book and other Bongo titles) and cartoonist Jimmy Gownley (for Best Publication for Kids plus coloring and lettering on his Amelia Rules! series). A record 15 creators have 2 nominations each.

DC Comics has the most nominations for a publisher, with its various imprints (DCU, Vertigo, WildStorm) garnering 14 nominations (plus 3 shared). The DC Universe has 5 of those nominations, while the Vertigo imprint has 9, all spread among multiple titles and creators. In addition, 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking by Paul Levitz, published by TASCHEN, has two nominations. The publishers emerging with the second-most nominations this year with 12 each are Image (led by Chew and Morning Glories) and IDW, which in addition to Locke & Key has double nods for four titles: Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer Artist's Edition, Polly & Her Pals Sundays, and Darwyn Cooke's Parker: The Outfit. Close behind with 11 nominations each are alt/indy comics publishers Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly. Fantagraphics dominates the U.S. Edition of International Material category with 3 nominees and has 2 nominations each for Carol Tyler's You'll Never Know: Collateral Damage and Jacques Tardi's It Was the War of the Trenches. Besides Wilson, D&Q is on the ballot with two nominations each for Lynda Barry's Picture This, James Sturm's Market Day, and Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library 20.

Other publishers with multiple nominations include Dark Horse (9, plus 2 shared), Archaia (9), VIZ Media (4), and Marvel (3, plus 2 shared); six publishers with 3 nominations: Abrams Comicarts, Bongo, Atheneum/Simon & Schuster, First Second, NBM, and Scholastic/Graphix; and five with 2 nominations: Abstract Studio (Terry Moore's Echo), Disney/Hyperion, McClelland & Stewart (Scott Chantler's Three Generals), TASCHEN, and Vertical. Another two dozen publishers had 1 nomination each. Notably, many of these publishers are mainstream publishing houses and not standard comics industry companies. In addition to the ones mentioned above, they include Amulet Books, Andrews McMeel, Bloomsbury, Crown, Fulcrum Books, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Lee & Low, The Library of America, and Yale University Press.

Among this year's nontraditional "discoveries" by the judges are Seymour Chwast's adaptation of Dante's Divine Comedy (Bloomsbury), the "mocumentary" Finding Frank and His Friends by "Clarence 'Otis' Dooley" (Curio & Co.), the Native American anthology Trickster (Fulcrum), Lucidity Press's The Anthology Project, and cartoonist Dave Kellett's Literature: Unsuccessfully Competing Against TV Since 1953.

Named for acclaimed comics creator Will Eisner, the awards are in their 23rd year of highlighting the best publications and creators in comics and graphic novels. The 2011 Eisner Awards judging panel consists of comics store rep John Berry (Metropolis Comics, Bellflower, California), Comic-Con board of director Ned Cato (geekroundtable.com), librarian Karen Green (Columbia University), comics writer/editor Andy Helfer (The Shadow; Paradox Press), publishing consultant Rich Johnson (previously with DC Comics and Yen Press), and retail manager Chris Powell (Lone Star Comics, Dallas, Texas).

Ballots with this year's nominees will be going out in mid-April to comics creators, editors, publishers, and retailers. A downloadable pdf of the ballot will also be available online, and a special website has been set up for online voting. The results in all categories will be announced in a gala awards ceremony on the evening of Friday, July 22 at Comic-Con International.

Voting in one Eisner Awards category, the Hall of Fame, is already completed. The judges chose the nominees earlier this year, and voting was conducted solely online, with voting ending on March 24.

The Eisner Awards are presented under the auspices of Comic-Con International, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to creating awareness of and appreciation for comics and related popular artforms, primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing contributions of comics to art and culture. Jackie Estrada has been administrator of the Awards since 1990. She can be reached at jackie@comic-con.org.

Aurealis Awards
Posted on May 22, 2011 by Jonathan

Last night the glitterati of the Australian science fiction and fantasy scene gathered at the Independent Theatre in Sydney for the annual Aurealis Awards shindig.  Unfortunately many of us couldn’t be there, so informal gatherings happened around the country, frequently referring to Twitter for updates.

We had a small group of friends over for champagne and gossip while we watched and waited for “our” category (Best Anthology) to roll around. Last year was a great one here in Western Australia and Alisa (for her excellent Sprawl), Marianne and I (for Wings of Fire) , and just me solo (for Godlike Machines) were all up for Best Anthology.  which I think in itself was one of the best things about the awards.  As it turned out Marianne and I were delighted to hear that Wings of Fire had been given the award. We worked hard on the book, and it was especially pleasing to win an award with Marianne.

Other friends won during the evening – Tansy, Helen, Margo, and Kirstyn among many. Congratulations to them all! More than one person pointed out how similar the results were to the recent Ditmar Awards, and how good it was to see a convergence of popular and critical opinion looking back at last year’s Australian SF/F scene.

And, since I’ve not seen it online elswhere, the full list of winners:

Kris Hembury Encouragement Award: Jodie Cleghorn
Peter McNamara Convenors’ Award: Helen Merrick
Best Science Fiction Novel: Transformation Space, Marianne de Pierres
Best Science Fiction Short Story: The Heart of a Mouse, K.J. Bishop
Best Fantasy Novel: Power and Majesty, Tansy Rayner Roberts

Best Horror Novel: Madigan Mine, Kirstyn McDermott
Best Horror Short Story: The Fear, Richard Harland
Best Anthology: Wings of Fire, Edited by Jonathan Strahan and Marianne S. Jablon
Best Collection: The Girl With No Hands, Angela Slatter
Best Illustrated Book / Graphic Novel: Changing Ways: Book 1, Justin Randall
Best Young Adult Novel: Guardian of the Dead, Karen Healey
Best Young Adult Short Story: A Thousand Flowers, Margo Lanagan
Best Children’s Fiction(told primarily through pictures): The Boy and the Toy, Sonya Hartnett (writer) & Lucia Masciullo (illustrator)

Ovu poslednju imam i počeo sam da je čitam. Nastavak na odmoru... Ima solidnih, ali i ne previše zanimljivih...
Za sada mi je najbolja priča Majkla Maršala Smita "Unbelief". Nije loša ni priča "Blood" Rodija Dojla. Neke nisam uspeo da dočitam.
Inače, rađena je po Skrobonjinom sistemu: red žanrovaca, red glavnotokovaca, pa ponovo...

Da, odlično je raznolika ta zbirka, ali čekam samo da overiš i Murkokovu priču, pominjali smo to već negde… uf. Ne kažem da se za sadističku crtu u jednog nam pokojnog (i to jednog od najomiljenijih, bar meni) žanrovskog pisca nije znalo, ali Murkok je našao za shodno da je bašbaš razgoli jednim tako intimno insadjerskim tračerajem, da čoveku pamet stane.

Pročitao sam. Ne znam šta da kažem. Sa stanovišta uklapanja u zbirku čiji je moto "šta je bilo posle" priča nedovoljno dobro funkcioniše, jer je bilo kome sa više od 600 grama mozga jasan odnos između dva glavna lika i šta može da bude poenta. S druge strane, "insajderski trač" je verovatno dovoljan razlog da priča bude zanimljiva svakom ko prati SF kao ja trideset-trideset pet godina. Priča, naravno, može da se čita i u drugim ključevima: prikaz jednog vremena, odnos prema smrti, itd. itd.
O "moralnosti" pisca teško je suditi. Pisac skida gaće svaki put kad objavi nešto. Ovde je skinuo dosta toga pored gaća... Ne znam...

... odnosa prema seksu, ili barem prema upražnjavanju istog...   :twisted: ... zeitgeist me fascinira, ne krijem, smatram da, u poređenju sa istim, mi danas živimo u srednjem kamenom dobu. Ali moja opaska "da ti pamet stane" se nije odnosila na to što navodiš, nego na fakt da je Murkok sa celom tom ekipom bio do te mere blizak da zna sadržaj svakih gaća pojedinačno, pa ako se ne štreca da ovako svoje (i još nečije pride) skine, onda... onda...  :mrgreen:

Ali, s druge strame, ovo je fikcija, pa ne mora da bidne baš sve tako kako je Murkok rekao - promenio je i par imena  :(
A što se tiče zeitgeist-a, pa, i mi smo malo toga okrznuli - mislim da tu ima dosta umetničke slobode...

U svakom slučaju, gledaću da mi ne promakne niti jedno jedino Murkokovo sveže objavljeno slovce.  :twisted:

Da li je iko ovde čitao Anheliku Gorodišer? Ja sam naišla na dve njene priče po antologijama hispanoameričke proze, obe su sjajne, ali to je zbilja malo da se stekne pravi utisak  :(

Naslova se ne sećam ali su obe priče odlične - i potpuno različite. Jedna uzima standardni zaplet Zvezdanih staza - astronaut na nepoznatoj planeti s ljudskim društvom - i ubacuje ga u Kažnjeničku koloniju naglavačke. Druga deluje kao lirski magični realizam (ali takođe je krajnje brutalna) dok rabi motiv nasumičnog putovanja kroz vremeprostor. Ta mi je bila čak i upečatljivija jer je glavni lik žena koja od malena ima dar da slučajno otvori neka vrata i nađe se na sasvim drugom mestu, a ona taj dar koristi da... ubijzakoljiudrizgromi. Bonus za prepoznavanje situacija ka kojima otvara vrata.

Deluje krajnje primamljivo za još čitanja, ali, izgleda, nema ničeg više na srpskom   :(

Wow! 
To ti kažem smrtno ozbiljna jer baš sam se pitala gde si to pobogu baš nju našla, pošto u anglosax antologijama njene proze nema ni za lek, osim te Kalpe koju je prevela Ursula lično, a i skroz je ispod radara po mnogim parametrima kojima se ja navodim… prosto nisam mogla ni da pretpostavim da si čitala srpske prevode - ja tebe vazda s oprezom merkam, bog dobri zna na kojim ti to sve jezicima čitaš  - pa me skroz oduševilo što u Srbiji ipak ima ozbiljnih izdavača kad su žanrovi u pitanju, pošto mi je sad već očigledno da nisu baš svi u tom kombib-laguna rangu… pa eto, mašala i aferim, možda sad i nabavim Kalpu, mada me zdravo danas mrzi da se bakćem sa tim papirnim izdanjima…  :(

Nego, slušaj ti vamo, jevtro, tebe bi trebalo stvarno dobrano protresti po pitanju rivjua, jer ovako samo dobri bog zna šta to sve ti međ ušima ne kriješ…  xtwak

  Da, baš sam znala da će ova vest posebno tebe obradovati. A sledeća vest će te sigurno još više oraspoložiti, a možda i zasmejati. Naime:       
Quote
  Booker Prize Long List July 26th, 2011 by Editors   The UK’s premier literature prize has famously turned it’s back on science fiction which, according to one former judge, is “bought by a special kind of person who has special weird things they go to and meet each other.” Well, this year’s long list has just been announced. One of the selected books is The Testament of Jessie Lamb by Jane Rogers. According to the publisher:
 
Jessie Lamb is an ordinary girl living in extraordinary times: as her world collapses, her idealism and courage drive her towards the ultimate act of heroism. If the human race is to survive, it’s up to her. Set just a month or two in the future, in a world irreparably altered by an act of biological terrorism, The Testament of Jessie Lamb explores a young woman’s determination to make her life count for something, as the certainties of her childhood are ripped apart.
That would be “not science fiction”, then.
 
By the way, it is a 2011 book (Booker eligibility is weird), so it should be eligible for the Clarke and Hugo next year.

Samo 2 muskarca nominovana, i obojca u ovom veku dobila nagradu  :) Mada, za Keya, Under Heaven je mnogo mnogo bolje delo nego Ysabel, ali nema to bas veze, zar ne?

Od 4 zene 3 su crne, mislim, a Beukesova pripada novoj postaparthejd generaciji (ti sigurno znas bolje, tako deluje s ove strane ekvatora). Okorafor i Jemisin nisam citao, plasim se da u slucaju potonje ne bude LotR sindrom. U svakom slucaju svidja mi se sto ne mogu ni da nagadjam ko je moze dobiti  :)

Ni ja nisam čitala Jemisin, mada me fribi donekle zaintrigirao, ali mrzi me da se bakćem sa serijalima na čije nastavke moram čekati, plus je fentezi, plus je Najtflajer sasvim neoduševljen. Kontam da tu nema leba za mene. Za Keya sam sad već prilično sigurna da nije moja šoljica kafe, pa tu nije ni bilo bog zna kakvog iskušenja. Okorafor me zaglavila otprilike na trećini, nekako sam ovih dana više sklona eskapizmu i prosto nemam snage da se rvem sa mučnim tragedijama, mada ću se njojzi obavezno vratiti, kad zvezde budu naklonjenije. Sve u svemu, nemam favorita, mada mi za sada Silent Land najviše obećava, iako nisam ni polovinu prevalila.


Okreni, obrni... Beuksova mi je opet prvi tip, iako je već sa Klarkovom nagradom prošla daleko bolje nego što sam očekivala.

Ha, meni je od triju afrikanki baš Okorafor bila long shot tip. Sasvim je moguće da je najjači stilista među ekipom, ali brate, ovo joj je skroz tegoban roman, skoro pa naporan za lagodno čitanje, silna patnja bez truna radosti. Sva tri romana su egzotičan fentezi, ako gledamo iz anglosax vizure, ali Beuksova ima za adut simpa vickast humor a Lord ima bajkovit etno-šarm, pa je pored njih Okorafor isporučila maltene traumatično mučnu i depresivnu prozu. A i pristup joj je prilično zahtevan, jer to je bez sumnje roman za odrasle ali ponuđen je iz vizure praktično deteta, pa mi na momente deluje kao YA proza... sve u svemu, baš me iznenadilo, mada mi jeste drago, Okorafor je uberkul tip.

Ma ja sam tipovao na nju iz potpuno neknjiževnih razloga. Ona je najegzotičnija. Isto kao kad je ZŽ dobio, mislim da su se vodili razmišljanjem "Ajde da damo nekom tamo divljaku, da ispadnemo face..."

Pa nije svejedno je l' 'oćeš da čitaš o junakinji koja se kreše sa nemrtvom krvopijom, životinjom (ovom ili onom), vanzemaljcem (ovakvim il' onakvim), sa Aragornom i Legolasom istovremeno, il' neku mešavinu svega toga (sa sve grupnjacima jer ne može da se opredeli između njih dvajes').  :evil:

Izasla i long list za 2012 IMPAC Dublin i tu ima svega i svasta kao i uvek u sirem izboru, ali izgleda da pored nekih naslova koje je bilo za ocekivati ima tu i par vrlo interesantnih domacih... Konstantinovo Raskrisce, na primer, i romani Mirjane Djurdjevic i Dragana Velikica...

Quote from: Nnedi Okorafor, PhD
Lovecraft’s racism & The World Fantasy Award statuette, with comments from China Miéville.



On Sunday, a friend of mine wanted to see my World Fantasy Award statuette. When he saw it, he was taken aback. He looked like he’d seen an ugly ghost.
 
 “That’s a bust of LOVECRAFT!” he said.
 
 “Yeah, so?” I said. I had a bad feeling.
 
 Then he showed me a nice little poem that Mr. Lovecraft wrote about our people:


Quote
On the Creation of Niggers  (1912) by H. P. Lovecraft

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove’s fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th’Olympian host conceiv’d a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.


What a nasty piece of poetry. My first reaction was fury on the level of my character Onyesonwu (think tornadoes, tsunamis…no, bigger like the the red eye of Jupiter). I knew of Lovecraft’s racial issues, anti-Semitism, etc., but I never knew it was this serious. How strong the sentiment must have been within his soul for him to sit down and write that poem. This wasn’t racism metaphorically or abstractly rearing its ugly head within a piece of fiction, this was specific and focused. Who does that? Even in the early 1900s? That excuse of “that was just how most whites were back then” has never flown with me. The fact that a lot of people back then were racists does not change the fact that Lovecraft was a racist.

Anyway, a statuette of this racist man’s head is in my home. A statuette of this racist man’s head  is one of my greatest honors as a writer. A statuette of this racist man’s head sits beside my Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa and my Carl Brandon Society Parallax Award (an award given to the best speculative fiction by a person of color). I’m conflicted.

The first thing I did was consult the hive mind on facebook. And what a conversation ensued. Several authors (including Steve Barnes and Jeff VanderMeer) weighed in on the topic. See the conversation here. This discourse led me to ask the winner of last year’s World Fantasy Award for Best Novel China Miéville (he's also written and lectured extensively on Lovecraft) what he thought. He had much to say on the matter:

Quote
“Yes, indeed, the depth and viciousness of Lovecraft’s racism is known to me …It goes further, in my opinion, than ‘merely’ *being* a racist - I follow Michel Houellebecq (in this and in no other arena!) in thinking that Lovecraft’s oeuvre, his work itself, is inspired by and deeply structured with race hatred. As Houellebecq said, it is racism itself that raises in Lovecraft a ‘poetic trance’. He was a bilious anti-semite (though one who married a Jew, because, if you please, he granted that she was ‘assimilated’), and if you read stories like ‘The Horror at Red Hook’, the bile you will see towards people of colour, of all kinds (with particular sneering contempt for African Americans unless they were suitably Polite and therefore were patricianly granted the soubriquet ‘Negro’) and the mixed communities of New York and, above all (surprise surprise - Public Enemy were right) ‘miscegenation’ are extended and toxic.”


It’s not as if I haven’t encountered this issue before. One of my favorite authors is Stephen King. Yet, in several of his novels (including one of my all time favorites- The Talisman), he features Super Duper Magical Negros. That’s a very mild example. I certainly don’t feel that King hates black people.

I recently consumed and adored Norman Mailer’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece The Executioner’s Song only to then learn that Mailer was a raging and violent sexist and homophobe. I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez but just the description of one of his recent novels, Memories of My Melancholy Whores, made me want to hurl. Another novel tenderly featuring pedophilia, great.
 
And I love film almost as much as I love literature. What of the film that revolutionized film-making, Birth of a Nation? It was basically a piece of Ku Klux Klan propaganda. When I saw that film in college, I wanted to go out and punch someone and set things on fire and and blow things up. Yet, in terms of technique and narrative form, it was also a masterpiece.

This is something people of color, women, minorities must deal with more than most when striving to be the greatest that they can be in the arts: The fact that many of The Elders we honor and need to learn from hate or hated us.

Do I want “The Howard” (the nickname for the World Fantasy Award statuette. Lovecraft’s full name is “Howard Phillips Lovecraft”) replaced with the head of some other great writer? Maybe. Maybe it’s about that time. Maybe not. What I know I want it to face the history of this leg of literature rather than put it aside or bury it. If this is how some of the great minds of speculative fiction felt, then let’s deal with that... as opposed to never mention it or explain it away. If Lovecraft’s likeness and name are to be used in connection to the World Fantasy Award, I think there should be some discourse about what it means to honor a talented racist.

I loved China’s way of dealing with his “Howard”. He said:

Quote
“So where does that leave the World Fantasy Award? Well, in my case, I have always done something very specific and simple. I consider the award inextricable from but not reducible to Lovecraft himself. Therefore, I was very honoured to receive the award as representative of a particular field of literature. And the award itself, the statuette of the man himself? I put it out of sight, in my study, where only I can see it, and I have turned it to face the wall. So I am punishing the little fucker like the malevolent clown he was, I can look at it and remember the honour, and above all I am writing behind Lovecraft’s back. ”




I too am deeply honored to win the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. It feels so so so right and so so good. The award’s jury was clearly progressive and looking in a new direction. I am the first black person to win the WorldFantasy Award for Best Novel since its inception in 1975. Lovecraft is probably rolling in his grave. Or maybe, having become spirit, his mind has cleared of the poisons and now understands the err of his ways. Maybe he is pleased that a book set and about Africa in the future has won an award crafted in his honor. Yeah, I'll go with that image.

Da je odbila nagradu uz ovo sve, rekli bismo svi "kapa dole"... ali ovo jeste malko neukusno. Gledam sad komentare, i najrealniji (meni) za sada su "(Lovecraft) was celebrated for his vividness of imagination, not for his humaneness" + "I don't think it's necessarily fair to judge Lovecraft by modern standards" I to je verovatno i početak i kraj priče koja je započeta još 1975 kad se nisu bavili toliko tom sortom politike.

Sad evo i Valenteova gunđa što se za World fantasy award dodeljuje statua Lavkrafta, "oca horora a ne fantasyja" pa mislim... em je pre 100 godina sve bilo u istom košu, em...  gah... besciljno

Pa, ne znam baš. Ni ja nisam nešto lud za Lavkraftom, međutim - naučio sam podosta iz njegovih eseja i pisama. Elem, Lavkraft je smatrao da horora nema bez fantastike. Dakle, njega nije zanimao običan ljudski užas - tipa serijskih ubica, incestuoznih hilbilija i sličnog. On je insistirao da prava književnost strave mora da ima elemente natprirodnog. Uz to, mora se priznati da je njegovo pisanje bilo zrelije od pisanja njegovih savremenika, koji su se bavili fantastikom.

Takođe, mislim da upravo to što je njegov "mitos" nadahnuo toliko stvaralaca (pa posredno i Čajnu Mjevila, recimo) čini prikladnim da WFA bude nadahnut njime.

@Zakk: da si crnac, drugačije bi gledao na Lavkraftov pesmuljak. Ili bar, da Lavkraft u svom pesmuljku ne pominje u tom kontekstu crnce, nego Srbe ili homoseksualce...  :mrgreen:


Šalu na stranu, jedna stvar je biti rasista u robovlasničkom mentalitetu, a sasvim druga je pisati ovako ostrašćene pesme o tome... plus, kako ja shvatam Nnedi, nije njoj problem što je WFA vođena odavanjem počasti uticaju Lavkraftove proze, nego što je statuetom odlučila da glorifikuje samog čoveka, a ne njegova prozna ili poecka dostignuća, jer kad glorifikuješ samog čoveka, onda time posredno glorifikuješ i sve njegove stavove, od kojih neki ipak nisu za glorifikaciju, bar kod Lavkrafta.


Doduše, što se mene lično tiče, to jeste neka vrst političke korektnosti koja sad već zalazi u domen ultra političke korekture i torture....  xuzi :roll:

Vala baš... Plus se sve gleda crno-belo, pa anti-semita koji se oženio Jevrejkom ostaje samo anti-semita, ne i neko ko je sposoban da voli Jevrejku, rasista koji je omiljenom mačku dao ime Niger (a mačke je smatrao aristokratskim stvorenjima i obožavao ih, nikako ih nije smatrao nižom vrstom) ostaje samo rasista... Mislim, okej, treba biti svestan svih aspekata, ne idealizovati nekog, al' dajte onda da ne bude ni jednostranog ocrnjivanja (no pun intended).

Literary Bests
Posted on December 29th, 2011 by Ursula K. Le Guin

Quote
The Use of Literary Awards.
I’m not saying literary awards should  be done away with, or that they have no use at all — only that we  shouldn’t take them as meaningful literary judgments. There have been literary competitions ever since ancient Greece, and though they tend like all competitions to select the predictable, to favor work by men over work by women, and to become ingrown or corrupt, still they serve as spurs to artists who want or need spurring to do their best.
Competitions and awards arouse interest in the audience, even if it’s the kind of interest appropriate to a horse race — witness the hysteria  of betting on some of the “big” literary awards — which brings much-needed money to artists and those who support or invest in their work. This is a service principally to the business of art, but also to its vitality in the culture.
And to an author, early in a career, an award can be a true and needed  validation — a beautiful reward, like the Boss sings about. The first  literary prizes I won, the Nebula and the Hugo, were beautiful rewards  to me. They gave me strength by justifying both my trust in my readers  and my trust in myself as a writer. They come from the science fiction  community: one is awarded by writers, the other by readers. They are of  value almost solely within that community. They are ignored or actively  despised by those who institute themselves the guardians of capital-L  Literature.

2011 Philip K. Dick Award Finalists Announced, Including Maureen McHugh, Mira Grant, and More
 by Jeff VanderMeer on January 10, 2012   
The Philip K. Dick Award finalists for best original Science Fiction published in paperback form in the United States have just been announced:
A Soldier's Duty by Jean Johnson (Ace Books)
After the Apocalypse by Maureen F. McHugh (Small Beer Press)
Deadline by Mira Grant (Orbit)
The Company Man by Robert Jackson Bennett (Orbit)
The Other by Matthew Hughes (Underland Press)
The Postmortal by Drew Magary (Penguin Books)
The Samuil Petrovitch Trilogy by Simon Morden (Orbit)

The hot hand here clearly belongs to Maureen F. McHugh with After the Apocalypse from Small Beer, the only short story collection on the ballot. It’s a brilliant book that hit the trifecta of starred reviews in Booklist, Kirkus, and Publishers Weekly. Michael Dirda called an “irresistible festival of horrors” in the Washington Post. Publishers Weekly and io9.com both put it on their year’s best list.

   Indie publishers like McHugh’s Small Beer title appear ever more frequently on the Philip K. Dick list—ever since The Troika by Stepan Chapman, published by my Ministry of Whimsy Press, won in 1997—but it’s still interesting to see two such offerings on the same ballot. The second is Matthew Hughes’ The Other from Underland Press. Hughes brings a Jack Vance sensibility to his science fiction, although with a more baroque style. He’s also at heart a horror writer in a supernatural vein, which informs his SF as well. In The Other, Luff Imbry, an insidiously clever confidence man finds himself embroiled in intrigue on a far-off planet.


Mira Grant, meanwhile, continues her strong critical and commercial showing with Deadline, the second in her ingenious Newsflesh zombie series. You can read an interview with Grant talking about Deadline right here on Omnivoracious. The first novel in the series, Feed, was also a finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award, and was largely responsible for her winning the John W. Campbell Award for best new writer.

Other finalists demonstrate the breadth of what modern science fiction has to offer. The popular The Postmortal by Drew Magary postulates a near-future cure for aging that has severe political and social repercussions. A Soldier's Duty by Jean Johnson features a precog soldier in the far future. The Samuil Petrovitch Trilogy by Simon Morden is infamous for effective if eye-gougingly kaleidoscopic covers devised by some sadist at Orbit Books (if you look at them in the mirror, they no doubt reveal the secret message “Killjoy Was Here”). The books are set in a nearish-future in which the U.S. is a theocracy, Japan is destroyed, and the U.K. has devolved into anarchy.

By focusing on paperback originals, the Philip K. Dick Award seeks to provide more attention for books that may otherwise get overlooked. Certainly, The Company Man by Robert Jackson Bennett, released last spring, benefits from inclusion. Despite some fine reviews, including one in the Wall Street Journal, it hasn’t yet fully found its audience. A comment on Amazon that The Company Man reads as if “Upton Sinclair and Philip K. Dick had collaborated to write a Sam Spade novel” isn’t far-off, if you throw in Steampunk elements like airships. Hopefully, the nomination will allow more readers to discover this fine novel.
Congratulations to all of the finalists. First prize and any special citations will be announced on Friday, April 6, 2012 at Norwescon 35 at the Doubletree Seattle Airport Hotel, SeaTac, Washington. The 2011 judges were Scott Baker (chair), Mark Budz, Roby James, Darrell Schweitzer, and Alice K. Turner.

Samuil Petrovitch is a survivor.

He survived the nuclear fallout in St. Petersburg and hid in the London Metrozone - the last city in England. He's lived this long because he's a man of rules and logic.

For example, getting involved = a bad idea.

But when he stumbles into a kidnapping in progress, he acts without even thinking. Before he can stop himself, he's saved the daughter of the most dangerous man in London.

And clearly saving the girl = getting involved.

Now, the equation of Petrovitch's life is looking increasingly complex.

Russian mobsters + Yakuza + something called the New Machine Jihad = one dead Petrovitch.

But Petrovitch has a plan - he always has a plan - he's just not sure it's a good one.

The Kitschies
« Reply #318 on: 13-01-2012, 22:27:44 »
The Kraken Rum presents The Kitschies, the annual awards for those books which best elevate the tone of genre literature.
The Kitschies celebrate the year's most progressive, intelligent and entertaining works - the books that do the science fiction and fantasy community proud. Winners receive a cash prize in addition to one of our lovingly hand-crafted Tentacle trophies and a bottle of The Kraken's fine black liquid.
We have four judging categories: Red Tentacle (Novel), Golden Tentacle (Debut), Inky Tentacle (Cover) and the Black Tentacle (Discretionary). (klikom na link do shortliste)

The judges received 152 books from 38 publishers and imprints: big and small, pulp and prestige, literary and genre. We're  grateful for the support of all the publishers and authors who took the time to submit their work.
As judge (and 2010 Red Tentacle winner) Lauren Beukes says, "2011 produced some remarkable novels. These are the ones that stood out for all of us, according to The Kitschies' criteria: books that were inventive, playful and smart, packed with intriguing ideas, great characters and nudged at the boundaries of things, or overturned them altogether."
The finalists in each category can be found on their respective pages.
The winners in all four categories will be introduced on 3 February at the SFX Weekender, the UK's largest science fiction convention.

The Galactic Suburbia Award: for activism and/ or communication that advances the feminist conversation in the field of speculative fiction in 2011!
 
 
We didn’t put links to the honours list and winner as show notes to the podcast, because we wanted our regular listeners to have at least SOME sense of anticipation as they listened, but now it’s well and truly out there, so here is the list:
Honours List
Carrie Goldman and her daughter Katie, for sharing their story about how Katie was bullied at school for liking Star Wars, and opening up a massive worldwide conversation about gender binaries and gender-related bullying among very young children.
Cheryl Morgan for Female Invisibility Bingo, associated blogging and podcasting, and basically fighting the good fight
Helen Merrick, for the Feminism article on the SF Encyclopedia
Jim C Hines for “Jane C Hines” and associated blogging, raising awareness of feminist issues in the SF/Fantasy publishing field.
Julia Rios, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond for Episode 11 of the Outer Alliance podcast (The Writer and the Critic special episode)
L. Timmel Duchamp – for continuing to raise issues of importance on the Ambling Down the Aqueduct blog and various Aqueduct Press projects
Michelle Lee for the blog post “A 7-year-old girl responds to DC Comics’ sexed-up reboot of Starfire”
 

 
Winner
Nicola Griffith – for the Russ Pledge, and associated blogging
The winner will receive a Deepings Doll hand-painted figurine of a suffragette with a Galactic Suburbia placard, hand-painted by Jilli Roberts of Pendlerook Designs. (Tansy’s very talented mother!) Each Deepings Doll is individual, so the one each winner will receive (we do plan to make this an annual tradition) will be unique.

Monday, January 30, 2012    2012 Galileo Awards nominees     The long listof 2012 Galileo Awards has been significantly shortened and although the new Romanian speculative fiction awards use the Australian system of voting and this short list will be further sieved I believe that we can call the titles remained in the race as the nominees for the 2012 Galileo Awards. So, without further ado here are the 2012 Galileo Awards nominees:
  The Best Volume:
“The Seasons” (Anotimpurile) by Bogdan-Tudor Bucheru (Millennium Books)
“Ink and Blood” (Cerneală și singe) by Ștefana Cristina Czeller (Millennium Books)
“DemNet” (DemNet) by Dan Doboș (Media-Tech)
“Chronicles from the End of the World” (Cronici de la capătul pămîntului) by Costi Gurgu (Millennium Books)
“Alone on Ormuza” (Singur pe Ormuza) by Liviu Radu (Millennium Books)
  The Best Short Prose:
“Prophecies about the Past” (Profeţii despre trecut) by Aron Biro (Steampunk: A second revolution edited by Adrian Crăciun, Millennium Books)
“The Last Hourglass” (Ultima clepsidră) by Oliviu Crâznic (Steampunk: A second revolution edited by Adrian Crăciun, Millennium Books)
“The Southern Swamps” (Mlaştinile din sud) by Costi Gurgu (Chronicles from the End of the World, Millennium Books)
“The Black Fortress” (Cetatea neagră) by Costi Gurgu (Steampunk: A second revolution edited by Adrian Crăciun, Millennium Books)
“A trouble in the Wonderful Inand” (O hucă în minunatul Inand) by Michael Haulică (Galileo Magazine, issue 3)
“The Story of Calistrat Hadîmbu from Vizireni, foully murdered by Raul Colentina in a Bucharest’s outskirts inn” (Povestea lui Calistrat Hadîmbu din Vizireni, ucis mişeleşte de nenicul Raul Colentina într-un han de la marginea Bucureştilor) by Michael Haulică (Steampunk: A second revolution edited by Adrian Crăciun, Millennium Books)
“From Gipsies” (De la ţigani) by George Lazăr (Steampunk: A second revolution edited by Adrian Crăciun, Millennium Books)
  The Best Anthology:
“Steampunk: A Second Revolution” (Steampunk: A doua revoluție) edited by Adrian Crăciun (Millennium, 2011)
“Venus” (Venus) edited by Antuza Genescu (Eagle & SRSFF, 2011)
“The Dragon and the Ewe Lamb” (Balaurul și Miorița) edited by Mihail Grămescu (Eagle, 2011)
“Pangaea” (Pangaia) edited by SRSFF (Eagle & SRSFF, 2010)
“2011 Galileo Awards” (Premiile Galileo 2011) edited by Horia Nicola Ursu (Millennium, 2011) 
  It seems that Millennium Press is dominating again the Galileo Awards with 4 novels, all the short fiction (since Galileo Magazine is published also by Millennium) and 2 anthologies from these lists of nominees, so I cannot wonder if a wider selection and a different voting system would not be better for this wonderful initiative. I am also thinking if a members’ jury, chosen for each year, would not improve the Galileo Awards and would help the Romanian speculative fiction scene more.

2011 Tiptree Award Winner
« Reply #329 on: 10-03-2012, 11:05:40 »

Redwood and Wildfire by Andrea Hairston (Aqueduct Press, 2011) is the winner of the 2011 James Tiptree Jr. Award.




Redwood and Wildfire was a favorite of the jurors from the moment they read it. They reported: “This vivid and emotionally satisfying novel encompasses the life of Redwood, a hoodoo woman, as she migrates from rural Georgia to Chicago at the turn of the 20th century. While Redwood’s romance with Aidan Wildfire is central to the novel, female friendship is also a major theme, without deferring to the romance. Hairston incorporates romantic love into a constellation, rather than portraying it as a solo shining star. Her characters invoke a sky where it can shine; they live and love without losing themselves in cultural expectations, prejudices and stereotypes, all within a lovingly sketched historical frame.

“Intersections of race, class, and gender encompass these characters’ entire lives. They struggle with external and internal forces around questions of gender roles, love, identity, and sexuality. This challenge drives how they move through the world and how it sees them. The characters in Redwood and Wildfire deftly negotiate freedom and integrity in a society where it’s difficult to hold true to these things.”

This year’s jurors were Lynne Thomas (chair), Karen Meisner, James Nicoll, Tansy Rayner Roberts, and Nisi Shawl.

Honor List

In addition to selecting the winner, the jury chose a Tiptree Award Honor List. The Honor List is a strong part of the award’s identity and is used by many readers as a recommended reading list for the rest of the year. This year’s Honor List is:

Libba Bray, Beauty Queens (Scholastic Press 2011) — In this atypically comedic Tiptree candidate, a cast of iconic characters trapped on a hostile island (populated by the capitalist analog of Doctor No) illuminates the limited palette of roles for women and offers the hope of more rewarding and rounded lives.

L. Timmel Duchamp, “The Nones of Quintilus” (in her collection Never at Home, Aqueduct Press 2011) — This standout story addresses the relationships between mothers and daughters and how the world looks different when you become (or intend to become) pregnant.

Kameron Hurley, God’s War (Night Shade Books 2011) — Set on a marginally habitable world divided by a common religion with diverse interpretations, this engaging work explores a militaristic matriarchal society.

Gwyneth Jones, The Universe of Things (Aqueduct Press 2011) — Running through these gorgeous stories is a fierce awareness of how gender roles and other social power imbalances are always factors in how we think, how we approach one another, how we see the world. The author questions the status quo, and then questions the questioning, so what emerges is a mature, honest, thoughtful complexity.

Alice Sola Kim, “The Other Graces” (Asimov’s Science Fiction, July 2010) — This elegantly written short story revisits the role of mirroring in self-actualization  and casts that path in a new and skiffy light as its heroine, Grace, is mentored by her older alternate selves. It also depicts racial/cultural intersections with gender roles.
 
 Sandra McDonald, “Seven Sexy Cowboy Robots” (Strange Horizons, 2010.10.04) — A surreal and subversive take on human-AI relations. An older female character exploring her sexuality is a rare thing in science fiction, and it is refreshing to see it handled here with such a deft hand.

Maureen F. McHugh, “After the Apocalypse” (in her collection After the Apocalypse, Small Beer Press 2011) — This title story of an impressive collection brings to the foreground gender expectations concerning the practice of motherhood in extreme situations and then completely and matter-of-factly upends them.

Delia Sherman, The Freedom Maze (Big Mouth House 2011) — A clear-hearted, magically immersive time travel story that explores powerful ideas. Thrown back through time to an antebellum plantation, a thirteen-year-old comes to understand how women’s experience is shaped by cultural expectations as they interweave with social, economic, and racial truths.

Kim Westwood, The Courier’s New Bicycle (Harper Voyager Australia 2011) — This compelling novel depicts a variety of sexually transgressive characters and looks at themes of fertility and alternate family structures through a dystopic lens.

The jury also named a “long list” of books worth mentioning, which will be available on this site shortly.

Nego, da ispunimo pauzu do objavljivanja onih... ehm... bitnijih nominacija... :mrgreen:

Awards tend to generate controversy. Last year saw both the biggest Booker debàcle since the inception of the prize, and the total meltdown of the British Fantasy Awards. One spectacle may have taken place on a smaller stage than the other, but in both cases the bloodletting was furious. Part of the problem seemed to be a confusion over what literary awards should be for. Last year’s Booker judges seemed to believe that novels should exist primarily for the purposes of middlebrow entertainment, while certain elements within the British Fantasy Society seemed happy to see the BFS awards reduced to a popularity contest. While the idea that anyone on the BFS committee was complicit in any actual wrongdoing was preposterous and the scapegoating of individual nominees was unfortunate and unfair, the changes to the awards system brought about by the BFS palace revolution were desirable and necessary and we will hopefully see the BFAs regaining some measure of value and credibility as a result. With the Booker I’m not so sure. The judges this year will probably be a tad more hardcore, but my guess is that the change will be short lived. The literary mainstream in this country, terrified of being charged with elitism, tends to pander to the middle ground. More and more regularly we see Booker shortlists crammed with works that fail to challenge the reader on any level. These are books that conform. It is a literature of obedience, the kind of books you can read in your lunch hour or at the airport then forget about immediately afterwards. It’s literary television.
The Clarke Award is different.

SFWA Announces Honorees of the 2012 Solstice Awards
 
 

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America are pleased to announce Octavia Butler and John Clute as the recipients of the Solstice Awards for 2012. The Solstice Awards are granted to up to three persons, living or dead, who have consistently had a positive, transformative influence on the genre of science fiction and fantasy.
 
Octavia Butler (June 22, 1947 – February 24, 2006 ) was a giant in the field of science fiction and fantasy; her work was awarded Nebula and Hugo awards, and she was the first science fiction writer to be granted the MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant. Butler’s fiction delved into sociological, political and religious issues, explored gender, sexuality and cultural identity. She looked for the problems in the world, and tried to find answers and solutions. Butler’s works include the Nebula Award winning novel Parable of the Talents, Fledgling, Kindred, the Patternist series, the Lilith’s Brood series and numerous short stories.
 
Butler passed away in 2006. SFWA is proud to posthumously award her the Solstice Award for her influence in science fiction and fantasy.
 
“My first encounter with Butler’s work came when her Lilith’s Brood series was pressed on me by a friend, who wouldn’t let me read anything else until I read the books. As time goes on I find that this is how so much of Butler’s work was discovered — by word of mouth from someone who found their lives changed by Butler’s ideas and prose. Butler left us far too early, but her influence remains, grows and deepens with every year. I’m proud to have SFWA honor her and her legacy with the Solstice.”
~John Scalzi, SFWA President

 
“When Octavia won the MacArthur she told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, “People may call these ‘genius grants,’ but nobody made me take an IQ test before I got mine. I know I’m no genius.” That’s true. She was something better. She was a woman who looked for the most difficult and important task she could possibly do, and then did it.
 
I’ll miss that deep, beautiful woodwind-like voice of hers. I’ll miss her tall, imposing presence. I’ll miss her sense of humor, her kindness, her courage, her strength.
 
Most of all, I’ll miss the books she never got the time to write.”
~Michael Swanwick, Memorial to Octavia Butler, Philadelphia Enquirer

Greg Bear, Drew Magary, China Miéville, Jane Rogers, Charles Stross and Sheri S. Tepper are the six authors shortlisted for this year’s Arthur C. Clarke Award, the UK’s premier prize for science fiction literature. The six shortlisted books are:


Greg Bear, Hull Zero Three (Gollancz)



Drew Magary, The End Specialist (Harper Voyager)



China Miéville, Embassytown (Macmillan)



Jane Rogers, The Testament of Jessie Lamb (Sandstone Press)



Charles Stross, Rule 34 (Orbit)



Sheri S.Tepper, The Waters Rising (Gollancz)




This year’s six shortlisted titles were selected from a long list of 60 eligible submissions put forward by twenty-five different publishing houses and imprints.

Award Director Tom Hunter said:

“ The definition of science fiction is many different things to different people. It can be a vision of the future, a reflection of our contemporary concerns and technological advances, a vast galaxy-spanning exploration or an alternate history of worlds that might have been.

“Every year the judges for the Clarke Award are tasked first to make their definition of science fiction, and then to define those books they think best showcase the genre. The task of turning sixty books into a shortlist of just six is no simple task, and I hope science fiction readers everywhere will appreciate both the challenge of making the selection and also the challenge any shortlist can make to our preconceived notions of the SF genre having any one simple definition.

“The Clarke Award shortlist this year is, in my opinion, a greatly exciting selection, and one that follows behind two equally exciting prizes I always watch with great interest; the British Science Fiction Association Awards and the Kitschies.  Three genre prizes with different backgrounds and different approaches, but when read together can offer a deeply encouraging indication of both the strength and breadth of science fiction literature today.”

The winner will be announced on Wednesday May 2nd at an award ceremony held in partnership SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival. The winner with a cheque for £2012.00 and the award itself, a commemorative engraved bookend.

Eisner Award Nominees 2012
« Reply #339 on: 05-04-2012, 12:12:43 »
Daredevil and Jim Henson’s Tale of Sand lead the nominations for the 2012 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, which were announced today by Comic-Con International.

Topping the 2012 list with six nominations is Marvel’s Daredevil, with nods for Best Continuing Series, Best Single Issue, Best Writer (Mark Waid), Best Cover Artist (Marcos Martin), and Best Penciller/Inker Team (two nominations: Marcos Martin, and Paolo Rivera/Joe Rivera). Close behind with five nominations is Jim Henson’s Tale of Sand, an original graphic novel of an unproduced, feature-length screenplay written by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl, adapted by artist Ramón K. Pérez, published by Archaia. The book is up for Best Graphic Album–New, Best Penciller/Inker, Best Coloring, Best Lettering, and Best Publication Design.

Three titles have 3 nominations: Vertigo/DC’s iZombie (Best Penciller/Inker and Best Cover Artist for Michael Allred, Best Coloring for Laura Allred) and The Unwritten (Best Single Issue, Best Writer for Mike Carey, Best Cover Artist for Yuko Shimizu), and IDW’s Richard Stark’s Parker: The Martini Edition, by Darwyn Cooke (Best Short Story, Best Graphic Album–Reprint, Best Publication Design). Sixteen titles had 2 nominations, and the remaining nominations were spread among nearly 100 books and comics in 27 categories.

DC and Marvel tied for the most nominations for a publisher, each having 11 nominations plus two shared. For DC, Vertigo had the lion’s share of nominations, led by iZombie and The Unwritten. In addition to the Daredevil nods, Marvel had two nominations for Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ Criminal: The Last of the Innocents under the Icon imprint. IDW also had 11 nominations, dominating the Best Archival Collection, Comics-Related Book, and Publication Design categories. Close behind with 10 nominations (plus 1 shared) is Dark Horse, including 2 each for Dark Horse Presents, Jeff Jensen’s Green River Killer, and Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo. Next, with nine (plus one shared) is Fantagraphics, including three nominations each in the Archival and International categories.

Other publishers with multiple nominations include First Second and NBM (6); Abrams ComicArts, Archaia, Drawn & Quarterly, and Oni (5); Image (4 plus 2 shared); Candlewick (4); and Pantheon (3). Eleven publishers had 2 nominations: Abstract Studio, Action Lab, Archie, Atheneum, Bongo, BOOM!, Chronicle, Top Shelf, the University of Mississippi Press, VIZ Media, and Yen Press. Another 15 publishers have 1 nomination each.

Named for acclaimed comics creator the Will Eisner, the awards are in their 24th year of highlighting the best publications and creators in comics and graphic novels. The 2012 Eisner Awards judging panel consists of Comic Book Resources and Robot 6 contributor Brigid Alverson; retailer Calum Johnston of Strange Adventures in Halifax, Nova Scotia; New York librarian Jesse Karp;  Beanworld creator Larry Marder; comics historian Benjamin Saunders from the University of Oregon; and Comic-Con board member Mary Sturhann.
This year’s judges added two new categories: Best Publication for Early Readers, and Best Educational/Academic Work. They also dropped four categories from the previous year: Best New Series, Best Adaptation from Another Medium, Best Writer/Artist–Nonfiction, and Best Painter/Multimedia Artist.

“The judges chose to not have the New Series and Painter categories this year because they didn’t find enough contenders that reached the level of quality they were looking for,” said Eisner Awards Administrator Jackie Estrada. “The extent and quality of the material submitted in the Kids and Teen categories was so high that the judges felt dividing these books into three categories was warranted.”
Ballots with this year’s nominees will be going out in mid-April to comics creators, editors publishers, and retailers. A downloadable pdf of the ballot will also be available online, and a special website has been set up for online voting: www.eisnervote.com. The results in all categories will be announced in a gala awards ceremony on the evening of Friday, July 13 at Comic-Con International.
