Congratulations to all the winners! I’m especially glad to see Catherynne M. Valente win an award since she is a very talented writer based on the novel by her I have read (The Orphan’s Tales: In the Night Garden). I haven’t read any of the other authors, but I’m starting to think I should read The Windup Girl and sort of wish I’d picked it up when I saw it at Borders yesterday.
