Hugo Awards 2019

Lodestar Award For Best Young Adult Book
Winner: Children of Blood and Bone, Tomi Adeyemi (Henry Holt; Macmillan)

Ovome nagrada?

Mislim, ima tu dobrog, ali ima i početničkog pisanja. Eventualno može da dobije neku nagradu za roman prvenac (ako se ne nađe bolji te godine).

Za nju znam samo kroz onu čarku oko naslova, da joj je neko plagirao naslov. Mislim…   

Za to ne znam, ali čitala sam knjigu, i... Ne mogu da kažem da je nečitljiva (nije, daleko od toga), i ne mogu čak ni da zamerim da je popriličan YA kliše (kad ih već toliko ima), i super je što je neka druga mitologija i kultura sem uobičajenih evropskih (mada kažu ljudi koji znaju više od mene da je poprilično prilagođena američkim čitaocima, al' opet, i to je razumljivo). Ali zanat baš fali. Ume da osmisli kako će likovi da se razvijaju i ponašaju, ali je izvedba toga neuverljiva, sa sve jednim od najneuverljivijih zaljubljivanja dvoje mladih na suprotnim stranama koje sam ikada videla.

Overi sažetu aferu ovde: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelkramerbussel/2018/12/01/nora-roberts-tomi-adeyemi-title-plagiarism-accusation/#4c7a2d6214f5

Meni je to upravo taj sindrom mučenika, koji ispoljava ogromna većina mlađih autorica. Ne samo sada, nego i ranije, recimo od smene milenija, tako nekako. I nije slučajno da ja za nju znam samo preko te afere, pošto inače ne bih...

[angel011]

Makar je umela da se izvini...

Dosta tih mlađih se međusobno druže i podržavaju (odnosno, imaju svoje grupice), pa me ne bi iznenadilo da ju je neka "pametna" prijateljica nagovorila da se žali. No publicity and all that...

[Lidija]

Moguće, ali brate mili, kako li ta žena uopšte razmišlja? Šta je zapravo tamo htela da kaže da joj je zapravo ukradeno, dal možda reči “krv” i “kost”? pazi samo njenu izjavu - “it would be nice if an artist could create something special without another artist trying to shamelessly profit off it.”

Majko moja. ovako ili onako, ogroman je to hendikep, i kako da posle toga uzmem da čitam išta što ta žena napiše, proza ili otherwise? Džaba njoj tu nagrade, čak i da su valjane.

Campbell Award Renamed

 August 27, 2019

The John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer has been renamed The Astounding Award for Best New Writer. The award, which is sponsored by Dell Magazines and administered by the World Science Fiction Society, was named for the editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later Analog Science Fiction and Fact). Current Analog editor Trevor Quachri said,

Campbell’s provocative editorials and opinions on race, slavery, and other matters often reflected positions that went beyond just the mores of his time and are today at odds with modern values, including those held by the award’s many nominees, winners, and supporters.

As we move into Analog’s 90th anniversary year, our goal is to keep the award as vital and distinguished as ever, so after much consideration, we have decided to change the award’s name to The Astounding Award for Best New Writer.

The nomination and selection process will remain the same, and we will be working with the World Science Fiction Society through future Worldcon committees to ensure the award continues to remain supportive of emerging authors.

This change follows a wide-ranging discussion in the SF field sparked by this year’s Campbell Award winner Jeannette Ng. In her acceptance speech as posted online, Ng said, in part,

John W. Campbell, for whom this award was named, was a fascist. Through his editorial control of Astounding Science Fiction, he is responsible for setting a tone of science fiction that still haunts the genre to this day. Sterile. Male. White. Exalting in the ambitions of imperialists and colonisers, settlers and industrialists. Yes, I am aware there are exceptions.

But these bones, we have grown wonderful, ramshackle genre, wilder and stranger than his mind could imagine or allow.

And I am so proud to be part of this. To share with you my weird little story, an amalgam of all my weird interests, so much of which has little to do with my superficial identities and labels.

A ONDA DOĐE I OVAJ DA ZASOLI RANU:

Everything wrong with science fiction is John W. Campbell’s fault

Moguće, ali brate mili, kako li ta žena uopšte razmišlja?

Sumnjam da je tu bilo uključeno razmišljanje. Razmišljanje se, možda, uključilo posle.
