One thought on “2022 Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire”

  1. Thank you for your interest in European affairs, though apparently not widely shared (even I have been busy with more urgent things over the hot weekend). It might be worth noting (in fact, the links to the NooSFere database entries from GPI’s announcement make it easy to take note):

    while Hearn is obviously synonymous with the Tales of the Otori cycle, Les Guerriers orphelins is specifically a translation of the 2020 title Orphan Warriors (the subseries Children of the Otori it opens is often considered distinct from the Tales proper)
    “Les Tambours du Dieu noir et Ring Shout” should not be copypasted and then italicised as a whole; those are two separate volumes (and a French coordinate conjunction, preserved also in the Graphisme category, as the bracket with original titles hints)
