Nancy Kress

[interrociter]

For years I've had a love-hate relationship with the stories of Nancy Kress.  Note that I said "the stories of."  Nancy herself is a sweetheart.  And she's an excellent writer; I wish we had more that were as talented and dedicated.  But with many of her stories I'd find myself positively *hating* something about them.  No need to go into details

I just had the pleasure of seeing Nancy win a Hugo for another good novella, "The Erdmann Nexus."

I have done my best to purge my fiction of fuzzy New Age stuff, but I keep a six-pack on the shelf just in case, right by my copy of _The Dancing Wu Li Masters_. You never know.

I'll look up "The Erdmann Nexus." I don't think I've read any of the fiction on the final ballot. Not even John's Nebula winner. I blame the children.
