Several friends of mine on Facebook and Twitter are Brazilian writers. Last night was announced the results of a poll taken of Brazilian writers, critics, and other SF fans, organized by writer Ana Cristina Rodrigues, called simply Melhores do Ano 2010. These results are of great interest to me, not just because I am acquainted with several of the people who participated and/or won, but because this illustrates just how non-Anglophone SF is growing across the world. Plus, it was nice to see that I had read two of the books mentioned in the awards and enjoyed one of the co-winners of the Best Story (and hope to read the other in the near future, if possible, even if I have to import it).. But enough of me gabbing here. Here are the categories and the winners:
Novel: : Kaori, by Giulia Moon
