Also interesting to note: it was announced that this is the last year that the
award statuette - which features a caricature of H.P. Lovecraft, will be
retired.
The statue has come under fire in recent years, with authors such as Nnedi
Okorafor and Daniel José Older pointing out that the horror author’s views on
race are make him an uncomfortable figure to use. There’s no word on what will
replace the statue moving forward.
(Ganska tramsigt. HPL offras för att han iofs uttryckt ungefär samma åsikt som
var och varannan amerikan hade vid hans tid. Förutom att någon gång skriva i
rasistiska ordalag var han aldrig särskilt pådrivande i saken. Det är - utom
undantagsvis - fel att döma GÅRDAGEN efter DAGENS normer och åsikter.)

De kallas de kinesiska nebula-priserna, men eftersom de delas ut efter bred
omröstning borde de kanske kallas de kinesiska Hugo-priserna (som omröstas av
läsare och medlemar av sf-världskongressen).
(Sist i prisangivelsen för varje verk ges originaltecken med kinesisk skrift.
De överförs eventuellt inte korrekt. Får se...)
