2020 Nebula Awards Finalists

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) have announced the finalists for the 2020 Nebula Awards. They are voted on by SFWA members and the winners will be announced during the Nebula Awards Weekend, June 4-6. 

These are the finalists for the Novel award.

  • Piranesi, Susanna Clarke (Bloomsbury US; Bloomsbury UK)
  • The City We Became, N.K. Jemisin (Orbit US & UK)
  • Mexican Gothic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Del Rey; Jo Fletcher)
  • The Midnight Bargain, C.L. Polk (Erewhon)
  • Black Sun, Rebecca Roanhorse (Saga; Solaris)
  • Network Effect, Martha Wells (Tordotcom)

As has been the case for the last few years, the finalists have been mostly female, which is a notable change from a generation ago. I've not read any of the novels, although the N. K. Jemisin book is on my list of books to buy if it goes on sale. 

Most of the short fiction finalists are available to read (or in some cases, sampled) online.
