2022 Hugo Award Winners

The winners of the 2022 Hugo Awards were announced Sunday at ChiCon 8, the World Science Fiction Convention. The awards are voted on by supporting and attending members of the convention and have been the pre-eminent SFF award since the 1950s.

These are the fiction winners:

  • Best Novel:  A Desolation Called Peace, by Arkady Martine (Tor)
  • Best Novella: A Psalm for the Wild-Built, by Becky Chambers (Tordotcom)
  • Best Novelette: “Bots of the Lost Ark”, by Suzanne Palmer (Clarkesworld, Jun 2021)
  • Best Short Story: “Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather”, by Sarah Pinsker (Uncanny Magazine, Mar/Apr 2021)
  • Best Series: Wayward Children, by Seanan McGuire (Tordotcom)
  • Best Graphic Story or Comic: Far Sector, written by N.K. Jemisin, art by Jamal Campbell (DC)
Arkady Martine also won the Hugo for her first novel, A Memory Called Empire, which I have and will get to eventually. N.K. Jemisin won three consecutive Best Novel Hugos for her Broken Earth trilogy. I got about twenty pages into the first book a while back and lost interest, but I will give it a second try one of these days. Far Sector looks interesting and is now available on Hoopla so I will read that in due course.
