Aliette de Bodard: “Three Cups of Grief, by Starlight”
Gareth L. Powell: “Ride the Blue Horse”
Vandermeer’s nominated piece is here. It’s quite interesting.
The Jonathan McCalmont piece is here, but I haven’t read it yet.
Also a decent write up in The Guardian.
The Vandermeer piece is what led me to read the Southern Reach trilogy. It’s a fantastic piece of writing in its own right, and I am pleased to see it honored.
This really brings home to me how much last year’s kerpupple has changed my reading habits. Without it, by now I would perhaps have read Luna and Mother of Eden, which are the only ones I’ve seen in my local library, and maybe have some others waiting on the Kindle if Amazon had done a very good offer on them. With it: I read “The Witches of Lychford” before Christmas, Glorious Angels last month, started The House of Shattered Wings yesterday; the other three novels are near the top of my virtual TBR pile, and Letters to Tiptree is about to be moved up as well.
