Congratulations to Geoff Ryman, who has just won the James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award for his book Air: or, Have Not Have. It's an unusual book and a great story.
The award goes each year to a work of speculative fiction that expands and explores gender. I had a great time being on the Tiptree jury this year!

Woo hoo! I liked Air, very much. I haven't read the others--and have only heard of Black Juice--and look forward to tracking down them all.
(I also feel very hip and in, having just this minute found your blog--and there's this announcement, which I haven't seen anywhere else.)
I have you on my watchlist on LibraryThing! I think there I'm just "lizzard". And I can't wait to add more of my books on there.
