Revolutions across the Middle signal the inevitable rise of democracy, the American space shuttle makes its final landing, and some really quite fuck-awful SF won awards in this, the annus horriblis of speculative fiction. Which 2011 Nebula Finalist Novels Have You Read? Blackout / All Clear by Connie Willis Echo by Jack McDevitt Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jemisin The Native Star by M. K. Hobson Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor I have read all of them. The Willis would be the worst piece on this list if not for another work. Which 2011 Nebula Finalist Novellas Have You Read? The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers Beneath the Queen's Window by Rachel Swirsky Ghosts Doing the Orange Dance by Paul Park Iron Shoes by J. Kathleen Cheney The Alchemist by Paolo Bacigalupi The Lifecycle of Software Objects by Ted Chiang The Sultan of the Clouds by Geoffrey A. Landis Only the Swirsky, the Park, and the Chiang. Which 2011 Nebula Finalist Novelettes Have You Read? That Leviathan, Whom Thou Hast Made by Eric James Stone Map of Seventeen by Christopher Barzak Pishaach by Shweta Narayan Plus or Minus by James Patrick Kelly Stone Wall Truth by Caroline M. Yoachim The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard Van Oost and Oludara by Christopher Kastensmidt The Jaguar House, in Shadow by Aliette de Bodard Only the Stone and the de Bodard. The Stone is the space whale rape story and I am inclined to name it the worst on this list... except Blackout/All Clear is so very long... Which 2011 Nebula Finalist Short Stories Have You Read? How Interesting: A Tiny Man by Harlan Ellison Ponies by Kij Johnson Arvies by Adam-Troy Castro Conditional Love by Felicity Shoulders Ghosts of New York by Jennifer Pelland I'm Alive, I Love You, I'll See You in Reno by Vylar Kaftan The Green Book by Amal El-Mohtar I have read only the Johnson and the El-Mohtar. -- My reviews can be found at http://jamesdavisnicoll.com/ My tor pieces at https://www.tor.com/author/james-davis-nicoll/ My Dreamwidth at https://james-davis-nicoll.dreamwidth.org/ My patreon is at https://www.patreon.com/jamesdnicoll
