Reviews
"[He] seems capable of amazements beyond those of mere mortals."
Presented annually by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), the Nebula Awards highlight the year's best contributions to the genre. Selections include Ted Chiang's novella Story of Your Life, Mary A. Turzillo's novelette "Mars Is No Place for Children," an excerpt from Octavia Butler's novel Parable of the Talents, and other award-winning stories as well as essays on the state of the genre and an appendix of past winners of the Nebula Awards. A good addition to most libraries' sf collections.

Invariably a worthwhile addition for most sf collections, this annual could be characterized as "how the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America view the field." For, as always, it presents the complete texts of the three works of short fiction to which the membership of the SFFWA has given the latest Nebula awards, as well as a usually inadequate excerpt from the winning novel (this time, Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents). Along with the latest winners--Ted Chiang's "Story of Your Life"(novella), Mary A. Turzillo's "Mars Is No Place for Children" (novelette), and Leslie What's "Cost of Doing Business" (short story)--two also-rans and a recent piece by the year's Grand Master honoree, Brian Aldiss, appear. Aldiss is idiosyncratically profiled by Harry Harrison; editor Silverberg and Gary K. Wolfe contribute commentaries; and Barry Malzberg remarks on Daniel Keyes, the designated Author Emeritus 2000, who speaks eloquently for himself about the origins and history of his sf masterpiece, Flowers for Algernon (1965).

SIGNED, with no personalizations or inscriptions, on the title page of their story by THREE authors: Ted Chiang, Gary K. Wolfe, and David Marusek. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by a light bump on its front cover's bottom corner. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and unworn, with bright metallic blue titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Not a remainder. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in fine condition: bright, whole, unmarked, and unworn.
