These science fiction stories here were published just last year and honored in April. The winners are: Connie Willis's "A Letter from the Cleary's" and "Firewatch," John Kessel's novella "Another Orphan" and an excerpt from Michael Bishop's novel No Enemy But Time. Equally impressive is the quality of the nominees that didn't win. Joanna Russ's "Souls" is a medieval setting. Barry Malzberg's "Corridors," actually from the inside. "Swarm," one of the best stories ever about living with aliens, by Bruce Sterling. Also includes stories by Silverberg and William Gibson.
