Un mot sur ce prix :
The Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award was begun in 2001. “The Cordwainer,” as the literary award has been nicknamed, goes each year to a science fiction or fantasy writer whose work displays unusual originality, embodies the spirit of Cordwainer Smith’s fiction, and deserves renewed attention or ‘Rediscovery.’ The award itself came into being due to the inspiration and work of Robert Silverberg, who recruited the original jury, and made it possible for the Cordwainer to be awarded initially during WorldCon. He later facilitated a smooth transition to establish the Cordwainer permanently as a centerpiece of Readercon.
