Cordwainer Smith Award Winner Announced

[james_davis_nicoll]

This year's winner of the Cordwainer Smith Rediscover Award is Stanley G. Weinbaum, whose career was cut short by cancer less than two years after his first story was published.

Normally I'd link to the award site in question but it doesn't seem to have been updated in a while (The most recent winner I can see is 2004's and while Robert Silverberg, Gardner Dozois, John Clute, and Scott Edelman are impressive names to have on a jury, SF Awards claims that the current jury is Barry Malzberg, Gordon van Gelder, Martin H. Greenberg, and Mike Resnick) so have the handful of Weinbaum stories that have made it to Gutenberg instead.

That first link, whatever it's supposed to be, is utterly broken.

Whoops. Remembered the template, remember the descriptor, forgot to include the url.

You also seem to have copied over the "Cordwainder" error in the SFAW post title.

Try project Gutenberg Australia, think there's a few more there. And my next project is a Weinbaum RPG, so I'll be scanning as many others as I can find.

That would be here (http://gutenberg.net.au/searchresults.html?cx=partner-pub-5844598359620998%3Au44bo1hpmi7&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=stanley+weinbaum&sa=Search#945), I think.

Totally awesome -- never heard of them until now. Thanks!

The Black Flame was one of my early SF paperbacks (great cover, that). I loved it at the time, for a couple of rereads afterwards -- it just grabbed your imagination & didn't let it go.
