Science fiction news

I was reading Locus, the magazine of the science fiction and fantasy field, for April 2008, when I noticed one or two bits of awards news that might be of interest (awards lists are great sources of books to be put on your personal "to be read" list).

John Harrison's Nova Swing won the 2008 Philip K. Dick Award, given for distinguished science fiction published in the US as a paperback original in 2007. The announcement was made March 21, 2008 at Norwescon 31, the convention of the Northwest Science Fiction Society in Seattle. Find this book in our catalog.
