Congrats toIan R. MacLeodandCory Doctorowfor share this year ’s Campbell Award , forSong Of TimeandLittle Brotherrespectively . But is it really true that U.S. publishers have been balking at publishing MacLeod ’s book ?
That ’s the thing that jumped out at me in this clause in The Kansan paper . Both Doctorow and MacLeod are chuffed to be receiving the Campbell , one of the few juried honour for science fiction novels . ( MacLeod also win the Clarke Award , another juried award . ) But then MacLeod secernate the newspaper that Song Of Time “ is being reconsidered for U.S. publication ” in the aftermath of the award . That ’s somewhat startling , since it already won the Clarke Award and is being touted as a literary gem . Just how many awards does a book have to receive before a U.S. pubilsher picks it up ?
Congrats also toJames Alan Gardner , who won the Theodore Sturgeon Award for his short story”Ray - Gun : A Love Story . ” [ The Kansan ]
