Let’s call it the Best New Writer Award
Aug. 20th, 2019 11:51 amJohn Scalzi says pretty much what I think about Jeannette Ng and the award she won.
Thanx to Whatever.
Thanx to Whatever.
a) Nobody’s post about winning an award should turn into a post about controversy! Everyone should be able to announce their awards with unadulterated joy! And unless the statue is changed, there will be a lot more posts like this. Can we not?
b) I don’t think the statue should be an image of any person.
c) I am not telling anybody not to read Lovecraft. I teach Lovecraft! I actually insist that people read him and write about him! For grades! This is not about reading an author but about using that person’s image to represent an international award honoring the work of the imagination.
