This is the fifth time I’ve picked my favorite books of the preceding decade, and I cannot help but wonder how many more chances I will have to do so in the future? Twice more? Three times perhaps?

Delany...

For the last two years I've voted in the Hugo Awards , yearly literary honors for science fiction and fantasy (but mostly science fiction). I skipped the best novel category because I hadn't read most of the works, which is no fun at all since that's the biggest award. So when the 2010 Hugos are decided next spring, I'd like to have completed enough of the nominated novels to make an informed vote....

He emphasizes Baym's focus on the critics' obsession with this theme. He concludes: it seems to me that the literary critical project of reading American fiction according to this American myth still sets the table for what we will be served as...
