Hi, Jonathan.

I recently started a science fiction blog, and one of the first reviews I posted was of Engineering Infinity. Great book. Here’s the link:

Hi Jonathan, Really enjoyed “The Best Science Fiction and Fantasie of the Year”. However, what about this book with your name as author on the front page? Or did I miss it? Stay well, FS.

Gregory Benford also has 11 stories nominated for the Hugo or Nebula. He has two collections in print but only one of them contains two of these stories.

Ian McDonald might be another worth doing considering he has only the Cyberabad Days collection in print and has had 16 stories published in Gardner’s Year’s Best anthologies (5 of which are in Cyberabad Days).

On one of the older podcasts you spoke about best of collections only working if the authors collections are mostly out of print. I propose you (or someone) make a Best of Kate Wilhelm, who has 17 Hugo and Nebula nominated short stories (with 3 nebula wins for short fiction) and has not a single collection in print.

I also propose a Best of Michael Bishop collection, who also has 17 Hugo and Nebula nominations (with one Nebula for short fiction but two Locus for short fiction). His only short fiction collection in print is Blue Sky Kansas that only contains 4 novellas.

re: Hugo nominations for 1956:

Franson and deVore, A History of the Hugo, Nebula and International Fantasy Awards (The 1976 edition), p 2:
“At the Detention in Detroit, there were two important innovation. The first was that the awards would be for the previous calendar year, rather than on a vague ‘preceding year’ basis. This was partly due to the second innovation, that of nominating ballots, which required extra time for the two sets of ballots to be distributed and returned.”
There are no nominees prior to 1959 – but there must be a lost of reminiscences out there, in print or in electronic storage, about how the decisions about the first Hugos were made (it might clear up the etenral puzzle of how They’d Rather Be Right won it) – maybe Frederik Pohl has already blogged about it.
