NESFA® 2001 Hugo Recommendations
7 June 2002 — mlo
NESFA continues to maintain a list of Good Stuff to read. Any NESFA member
who reads something that they would like to recommend to others to be considered
for a Hugo nomination can add it to the list. We will publish it from time to
time in Instant Message and on the nets. (Feel free to reproduce it
provided you reproduce it intact!) It's neither definitive nor complete, but it
contains the stories, novels and non-fiction works that a bunch of well-read
fans feel may be worthy of a Hugo nomination.
These are items published in 2001 (or published outside the US in 2000) and
eligible for the Hugos to be presented at ConJosé
on Labor Day 2002.
