After the Siege wins the Locus Award!

Last night, Locus Magazine held its annual Locus Awards Ceremony in Seattle, the winners include several of my favorite books of the year -- and my novella, "After the Siege" -- which was collected in my short story collection Overclocked and adapted for comics in my new collection Cory Doctorow's Futuristic Tales of the Here and Now". (The story's first publication was in the Russian magazine Esli, and the translation is also downloadable).

Many thanks to all who voted for this story, to Eileen Gunn for publishing the story and accepting the award on my behalf, and especially to my grandmother, Valentina Rachman, for sharing her stories of life as a child-soldier in the civil defense corps during the Siege of Leningrad.

   Just finished reading Little Brother, and wanted to let you know it was far and away the best science fiction I've read this year- and I read a lot.

   Cory, congratulations on the Locus! I loved the story in Overclocked, it's very powerful. This new reading by Mary Robinette Kowal is wonderful! I think the story gets even more power in Mary's voice. Great story, great reading, great Award! Greatgreatgreat :)

   Congratulations!
   Loved "After the Siege" a lot. BTW is one of the plot devices refer to the "Military Secret" by Arkady Gaidar ?
