Bilimkurgu, Fantazi ve Korku Eserlerini Ödüllendiren “Locus Awards”ta 2023 Yılının Kazananları Açıklandı

2023 Locus Ödülleri kazananları açıklandı. Locus Dergisi’nin düzenlediği ödüllerde; bilimkurgu, fantastik edebiyat ve korku türlerinde yılın en iyileri seçiliyor.

İlk defa 1971 senesinde düzenlenen ve bugüne dek Kim Stanley Robinson’dan Ursula K. Le Guin’e spekülatif kurgunun birçok önemli yazarını ödüllendiren yarışmanın 2023 yılı sonuçları belli oldu.

Nebula, Dünya Fantazi Ödülleri ve Hugo ile beraber alt kültürün en önemli yarışmaları arasında yer alan Locus Ödülleri’nde 2023 yılı adayları The Locus Science Fiction Foundation (Locus Bilimkurgu Vakfı) tarafından açıklanmıştı.

En İyi Bilimkurgu Romanı ödülü, Türkçede Yaşlı Adamın Savaşı serisi ve Kayıp Rıhtım’daki Muhtemel Geleceklerden Mektuplar öyküsüyle tanınan John Scalzi’nin oldu. Amerikalı yazar Scalzi, alternatif bir boyuttaki Dünya dışı hayvanların soylarını korumakla görevli bir ekibin maceralarını anlattığı The Kaiju Preservation Society romanı ile ödülün sahibi oldu.

En İyi Fantastik Roman ödülü ise Türkçede Haşhaş Savaşı Üçlemesi ile tanınan Çin asıllı Amerikalı yazar R.F. Kuang’ın 1830’ların İngiltere’sinde geçen tarihi fantazi türündeki romanı Babel’ın oldu.

Neil Gaiman’ın Chivalry eseri En İyi İllüstrasyon ve Sanat Kitabı kategorisinde ödüle layık görülürken daha önce Türkçede hiç yer almayan ancak ödül haberlerinde sık sık adından söz ettiren T. Kingfisher, What Moves the Dead ile En İyi Korku Romanı kategorisinde ipi göğüslemeyi başardı.
