    Da, wo die Tüdelchen sind, habe ich etliche Kategorien weggelassen, weil mittlwerweile mit dem Hugo so ziemlich alles und jeder ausgezeichnet wird bzw werden kann. Ob diese Ausweitung sinnvoll ist, wage ich zu bezweifeln - aber andererseits habe ich ja eh keine Ahnung. Wer sich für die fehlenden Kategorien interessiert, wird jedenfalls hier fündig.

    He was bigger than me even, and he moved with a silence I envied, some piece of the night cut loose and drifting against lesser blacknesses. (Roger Zelazny, A Night in the Lonesome October)

    Die Nnedi liegt hier bei der Motte, den RJB könnte ich mir vorstellen... Weiß wer, ob der auf deutsch kommt?

    Da, wo die Pünktchen sind, habe ich ganz viele Kategorien ausgelassen, weil ... es einfach überhand nimmt. :biggrin2:

    Wer will, kann da nachsehen, wo man immer nachsehen kann, nämlich bei Locus.


    Irgendwelche tatsächlichen oder baldigen Übersetzungen trage ich später nach - jetzt muss ich nämlich erstmal weg.


    P.S.: Die verlinkten Originalstories könnt ihr aus dem ersten Posting in diesem Thread holen. (Macht zwar eh niemand ... aber man weiß ja nicht, man weiß ja nicht ...)

    He was bigger than me even, and he moved with a silence I envied, some piece of the night cut loose and drifting against lesser blacknesses. (Roger Zelazny, A Night in the Lonesome October)

    Edited 2 times, last by gero ().

    Hm. Wenn jetzt noch jemand Shroud herausbringt, würde mal wieder die gesamte Hugo-Award-Shortlist als Übersetzungen vorliegen (denn ich weiß aus einer belastbaren & zuverlässigen Quelle, dass zumindest die Rechte für The Raven Scholar längst eingekauft sind - ich vermute, man wartet auf Band II, um die Abstände nicht allzu groß werden zu lassen).


    Lustig sieht's bei der besten Serie aus:


    • WINNER: Old Man’s War, John Scalzi (Tor US; Tor UK) ==> Heyne (Band 1 - 6 (von inzwischen 7); hier muss man aber dazu sagen, dass Scalzi 2025 nach zehn Jahren Pause wieder ins Universum von Old Man's War zurückgekehrt ist)
    • The Chronicles of Osreth, Katherine Addison (Tor US; Solaris UK; Subterranean) ==> Fischer TOR (nach Band 1 abgebrochen)
    • White Space, Elizabeth Bear (Saga; Gollancz) ==> Fehlanzeige
    • Emily Wilde, Heather Fawcett (Del Rey US; Orbit UK) ==> Fischer TOR (Band 1 - 3 (von bislang 3))
    • The Craft Wars, Max Gladstone (Tor; Tordotcom) ==> Panini (Band 1 - 6 (von 6, das ist die komplette Craft Sequence); der sich anschließende, bislang aus drei Bänden bestehende Zyklus The Craft Wars wurde bislang nicht übersetzt)
    • October Daye, Seanan McGuire (Tor US; DAW) ==> LYX (Band 1 - 3 (von demnächst 20, hinzu kommen noch etliche Stories)

    He was bigger than me even, and he moved with a silence I envied, some piece of the night cut loose and drifting against lesser blacknesses. (Roger Zelazny, A Night in the Lonesome October)
