The year's best science fiction and fantasy in one essential volume.
An annual commemoration, the Nebula Awards are presented by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America to those members whose imaginations refine and re-define the infinite storytelling possibilities found within the genre. The Nebula Awards Showcase represents the best of the best in fantasy in one indispensible collection.
One of the joys of my life is reading each Nebula Awards Showcase as it comes out. These are consistently good, representing the best science fiction (and a little bit of fantasy) as selected by the authors themselves. This has resulted in fantastic collections of winners and runners-up and essays on the state of the genre. I own a copy of every single year’s book.
And this year I was more than disappointed. This collection…well, it stunk. I’m not going to go into the details. I am just going to say I was uniformly disappointed in the stories (including the winners) in this collection. Trite, clichéd, uncompelling. Not a good collection.
The evidence of this really shows up in the excerpt from LeGuinn’s award-winning novel Powers. This is the way stories are supposed to be written. LeGuinn has proven time and again she knows the craft, and the inclusion of this winner just helps emphasize how loudly the other stories clink,
And, in the category of insult to injury, the essays just don’t seem to say that much. And they say it quite poorly.
If you are a completist like me, then you need this book. Otherwise, there is little to suggest it. ( )
