And, sigh,the setting for the interminable, nonsensical, and inexplicably popular Nebula and Hugo-winning Blackout/AllClear.Īs we’ve seen, past popularity means nothing to the young people of today, who insist on judging stories on their merits and not the warm feeling their grandparents may have had reading a now-venerable story. Not only did it win both the Hugo Award for Best Novelette and the Nebula Award for Best Novelette, it provided the setting for Willis’ Doomsday Book (also a Hugo and Nebula winner) and ToSay Nothing of the Dog. IfI’m going to hand them an early Connie Willis, “Fire Watch” isthe logical choice. I was going to give my young critics only works published before 1980 … but if I want to include a story by Connie Willis 1, I will have to fudge a little. I’ve decided to be flexible about the cut-off date for the first phase of this project.
