Va définitivement falloir créer une catégorie du Hugo : "meilleur épisode de Dr Who"
"There's an old Earth saying, Captain. A phrase of great power and wisdom. A consolation to the soul, in times of need : Allons-y !" (The Doctor)

La bonne nouvelle c'est que je ne connais aucun des 4 auteurs primés. La relève arrive.
En revanche ça me fait toujours bien marrer la surenchère de catégories (novel-novella-novelette-short story).
Vivement des catégories novellalette, shortstorynotlongenoughtoqualifyasashortstory, longnovellette, longnovel, shortbutnotthatshortnovel, longstorybutnotlongenoughtoqualifyasanovel

Listen now. Whoever you are, with these eyes of yours that move themselves along this line of text; whoever, wherever, whenever. If you can read this sentence, this one fragile sentence, it means you're alive. (Jeff Noon - Falling out of cars)
S'il y a une catégorie à ajouter, c'est plutôt "overlylongnovel".

Par contre je remarque que personne ne commente le fait que le Hugo revienne à un roman de réalisme magique. La SF doit être bien mal en point, pour qu'on en arrive là.
C'est vrai qu'il y a plus de SF publiée en Grande Bretagne qu'aux USA. Mais bon ...

Voici la couv et le résumé d'Among Others de Jo Walton
"Startling, unusual, and yet irresistably readable, Among Others is at once the compelling story of a young woman struggling to escape a troubled childhood, a brilliant diary of first encounters with the great novels of modern fantasy and SF, and a spellbinding tale of escape from ancient enchantment.
Raised by a half-mad mother who dabbled in magic, Morwenna Phelps found refuge in two worlds. As a child growing up in Wales, she played among the spirits who made their homes in industrial ruins. But her mind found freedom and promise in the science fiction novels that were her closest companions. Then her mother tried to bend the spirits to dark ends, and Mori was forced to confront her in a magical battle that left her crippled--and her twin sister dead.
Fleeing to her father whom she barely knew, Mori was sent to boarding school in England–a place all but devoid of true magic. There, outcast and alone, she tempted fate by doing magic herself, in an attempt to find a circle of like-minded friends. But her magic also drew the attention of her mother, bringing about a reckoning that could no longer be put off…
Combining elements of autobiography with flights of imagination in the manner of novels like Jonathan Lethem’s The Fortress of Solitude, this is potentially a breakout book for an author whose genius has already been hailed by peers like Kelly Link, Sarah Weinman, and Ursula K. Le Guin."

Ce n'est pas nouveau pour le prix Hugo de récompenser des romans qui ne sont pas de la SF. Depuis les années 2000 c'est même très fréquent, quasiment un sur deux. Cf les romans de Gaiman, Clarke, JK Rowling et j'en passe.Fabien Lyraud a écrit :le Hugo revienne à un roman de réalisme magique. La SF doit être bien mal en point, pour qu'on en arrive là
On peut être pour ou contre, ça montre effectivement la perte de vitesse de la SF, vieux refrain, mais ils se sont adaptés au lectorat.

Comme quoi certains (les membres de la WSFS, par exemple?) ont sans doute l'idée que le monde SF (et le fandom) inclu(en)t la fantasy dont je rappelle que, SEDMP, pour les américains, elle n'existe pas comme genre séparé, le terme recouvrant tout ce qui n'est pas "réaliste" et les genres étant l'"heroic fantasy", la "high fantasy",...
En quoi je comprends leur point de vue, même si pour ma part je cherche plutôt de la spéculative fiction, assez rare en fantasy (mot utilisé ici au sens français).

"If there is anything that can divert the land of my birth from its current stampede into the Stone Age, it is the widespread dissemination of the thoughts and perceptions that Robert Heinlein has been selling as entertainment since 1939."
Comme dit dans cette critique : http://www.sfsite.com/07b/ao348.htm , ce livre était spécialement fait pour le fandom. Il n'y a donc aucune surprise.
It's an insider's book not just because of the myriad references to such iconic figures as Samuel R. Delany, Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein and, big daddy of them all, but perhaps not nearly as hip as it once was since the Peter Jackson cinematic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. More importantly, it's the evocation of how you felt as a teenager in first discovering authors whose extraterrestrial or otherwise fantastical settings somehow seem to be speaking directly to your awkward, too-smart-for-your-own-good, virginal kid self. And, moreover, that there are other people like you who feel exactly the same way.
