Midori kindly posts the World Fantasy Award results; we were particularly happy to see the triumphs of Mary Rickert, Jeff Ford, and Ellen and Terri (for another wonderful anthology, Salon Fantastique). That said, a hearty congratulations to all the winners and a glass raised to all the rest.
Here’s a link back to my thoughts on Mary’s now award-winning collection Map of Dreams. And Shaun Tan for artist — I predict this is only the beginning for him, once The Arrival hits.
Weren’t they all wonderful?
Though it is not the beginning for Shaun. He’s already won a tonne of awards for The Arrival back home.
Thank you Gwenda! I was very very pleased. And in fact, was very happy about all the awards. I thought it was a very good year.
J — Yeah, he’s deservedly known elsewhere, but I expect this book will catapult him into the particular stratosphere that hangs over U.S. publishing. 🙂
Ellen — Yay!
