Attention science fiction and fantasy fans. The Nebula Awards were handed out at the weekend. Ursula K Le Guin won for the novel category for Powers – that’s her fourth Nebula victory for a novel. In 1969, she won for The Left Hand of Darkness, and, in 1974, for The Dispossessed, and then 1990 for Tehanu: The Last Book of Earthsea. She’s also won a couple of Hugos for novels. Ursula will be 90 in October.
