Ludovico De Luigi's cover art detail for the 1972 Italian edition of World's Best Science Fiction: 1968, ed. Terry Carr and Donald A. Wollheim (1968) Italian title: Il computer sotto il mondo #scifi #sciencefiction #art #artist

Hopping on the back of this to highlight that the inclusion of Best Translated Novel in the recommended reading list this year means there is now also a Best Translated Novel category in the awards - so go forth and vote! Because if not enough people use the category, it might not be there forever.

Loved that Jonathan and Gary discussed #SFinTranslation in this episode...they brought up good questions that come up in discussions of world literature generally, including- how does one talk about a translation without having read the original?

The minimum word requirement for the Hugo Best Series category is 240,000. Has anyone tried to estimate when On the Calculation of Volume becomes eligible? I don't think it is on the basis of the first three vols; but maybe by the end of this year, when there are five?
