2008 Nebula Awards

I'm pleased to congratulate Nancy Kress (and, well, everyone else, of course, but I don't know them) who's just been awarded the Nebula for her novella "Fountain of Age." Michael Chabon (who actually showed up) took home the award for Best Novel (for The Yiddish Policeman's Union).

Gawkermedia's io9 has a rundown on the awards with links to some upcoming work and related matter (including a brief account of dinner with Michael Moorcock, who was not wearing a cape at the time). The short version:

• Novel: The Yiddish Policeman's Union, Michael Chabon
• Novella: "Fountain of Age", Nancy Kress
• Novelette: "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate", Ted Chiang
• Short Story: "Always", Karen Joy Fowler
• Script: Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro et al
• Andre Norton Award: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J. K. Rowling
• Grand Master Award: Michael Moorcock

We'll be discussing the Nebula results and ballot in our May 6 meeting, so please come around to congratulate Nancy and join the conversation.
