BSFA Awards Announced

This is a big weekend for awards, what with the Hugo nominations and the PK Dick winners, and we're not done yet...

The British SF Awards have just been presented at the big annual UK convention, Eastercon. (This year's Eastercon is Orbital 2008.)

According to Locus, this year's winners are:
  • Novel: Brasyl by Ian McDonald
  • Short Fiction: "Lighting Out" by Ken MacLeod
  • Artwork: "Cracked World" (the cover of disLocations, ed. by Ian Whates) by Andy Bigwood
  • Best Novel of 1958: Non-Stop by Brian Aldiss (this is a special category celebrating the BSFA's 50th anniversary)
I really do need to read Brasyl now, don't I?

I read a short by McDonald in one of the year's best collections last year. It was quite good.

I have seen some negative comments about Brasyl, but they are focused on the politics more than anything else.
