Geoff Ryman won the 2005 Tiptree Award for Air: Or, Have Not Have.
I’m elated for Mr. Ryman. Back in 1990, I read the first chapters of Glen Engel-Cox’s copy of The Child Garden, and had to have my own copy.
The short list:
- Willful Creatures by Aimee Bender (Doubleday 2005)
- Wooden Bride by Margot Lanagan (in Black Juice, Eos 2005)
- Little Faces by Vonda N. McIntyre, on SciFiction, 23 Feb 2005
- A Brother’s Price by Wen Spencer (Roc 2005)
- Misfortune by Wesley Stace (Little, Brown 2005)
- Remains by Mark Tiedemann (Benbella Books 2005)
I’m also happy to see Little Faces and A Brother’s Price on the short list. Vonda’s short story is a look at distant post-human future where jealously and rivalry play out in disturbing ways. I reviewed Spencer’s novel on LJ back in January.
Disclaimer: I’ve volunteered with the Tiptree Award Foundation in the past, and my friends Liz and Georgie were on the jury this year.
