The Hugo nominations are out. Pretty classy field this year. I’d have to choose The Scar for best novel, but it’s a close call over Bones of the Earth, and I kind of think the latter will win. Michael Swanwick has three other nominations — could be a very good year for him.

Oddly, the Sci Fi Wire list is different. They have “Liking What You See: A Documentary” (by Ted Chiang) in the Best Novelette category instead of “Madonna of the Maquiladora”, by Gregory Frost. Normally I’d believe Locus, but Ted Chiang not getting nominated seems so unlikely.

How strange. Then again, maybe both lists are wrong, since neither one mentions Connie Willis.

I actually didn't think "Liking What You See" worked very well; it was supposedly a (transcript of a) documentary, but it read like, well, a short story. Very linear, very verbal. It was an intriguing concept, though.
