Prix Imaginales
My trip to France just got a boost. You may know I'm heading to Imaginales in Epinal, France, next week. To that information I'd add that they give their own awards at the conference, the Prix Imaginales. I'd further mention that they have a category for translated novels. And... (you can tell this is leading somewhere, right?) ...I just found out I'm one of the five finalists in that category! Oh my.
And make no mistake, I'm in there with some grown ups...
ROMAN ETRANGER TRADUIT
Steve Cockayne, Legendes du pays, Tome 1 : Vagabonds et insulaires, trad. Michele Charrier, Pygmalion

Are you kidding me? I'm on a shortlist for anything with Terry Pratchett? With Ian McDonald and Ellen Kushner? Okay, I don't know Steve Cockayne's work yet, but I'll take a look now. Wow... Have I mentioned that I really like France?
Here's the full announcement at ActuSF.

That's so awesome. Congrats!
Thanks, Meghan! It's definitely made my day.
Congratulations, David, that's great. As you say, any list with Pratchett is automatically impressive!
I agree with Greg; that's exactly what I thought when I read it and then re-read to make sure. Very cool! Way to go David! :-]
Yes, loosing to Terry Pratchett is fine by me! ;)
No one said anything about loosing! Either way though, it's a win win. But, you were just a bit humble in class when you mentioned "up for an award" without having elaborated... ;-) It's nice to get to witness firsthand a professor who is not just teaching, but doing, succeeding, and being rewarded, AND remaining humble...Very cool indeed! Safe travels next week!
You are in fine, fine company, but having finally read (and enjoyed) Acacia, I'm not in the least surprised. Congrats!
Wow very cool! Congrats and good luck!
Have a great trip!
