The annual Nebula Awards are given by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America to honor the best novel, novella, novelette, and short story of the previous year. Nebula Awards 33 editor and six-time Nebula winner Connie Willis reveals her love of the Nebula collection tradition:
"In those 33 eventful years, I've won Nebula Awards and lost them (or, as this year's toastmaster, Michael Cassutt, put it, I've been 'differently victorious'). And I've read another 31 Nebula Awards collections and all the stories in them.... And you know what? I'm just as dazzled, just as awed and impressed, by the Nebula Award stories as I was that first time."
Nebula Awards 33 features Jane Yolen's Best Short Story winner, Sister Emily's Lightship, a tale of poetic inspiration from the stars; The Flowers of Aulit Prison, Nancy Kress's winner for Best Novelette, which beautifully examines the persistence of memory; the Best Novella winner, Jerry Oltion's Abandon in Place, an extraordinary space-ghost story; and an excerpt from Vonda N. McIntyre's lush historical fantasy The Moon and the Sun, which took Best Novel honors.
A terrific selection of "differently victorious" pieces rounds out this outstanding collection, along with the essays, author profiles (of Nelson Bond and Poul Anderson), and Rhysling Award winners (for science fiction poetry) we've come to expect in the Nebula series. The Nebula nominees represent some of the best science fiction and fantasy published each year, and Nebula Awards 33 is full of high-caliber writing, great ideas, and fascinating insight into the minds and hearts of the nominated authors. --Therese Littleton
From Booklist
The latest gathering of sf and fantasy granted the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America's Nebula Award is exceptionally fine. Much of the credit goes to the writers, of course--1997 was "a very good year." Most of the rest goes to editor Willis, the literate author of six Nebula winners herself, who also has a knack for writing commentary that avoids condescension to either her colleagues or readers. The singularly high-quality stories herein range from Jane Yolen's revelation of the real source of Emily Dickinson's inspiration to an alternate history offering that, as its title, "The Crab Lice," implies, is definitely not escapist fare. The complement of essays and comments, some by Willis and some by others, rounds out the book in the series' usual fashion, and in this department, too, the quality this time is well above--and the amount of character assassination well below--average. More than most of its predecessors, this Nebula collection is an essential index of one year in sf and fantasy. Roland Green

Always Entertaining, Often Mind Blowing
31. Dezember 2003
It really doesn't matter which volume of the Nebula Awards you pick up, you know that you're going to discover some great SF stories. That is certainly true of NEBULA AWARDS 33. Sure, you might find one or two that you don't care for, but those stories are probably the exception to the rule. Out of the works selected for inclusion in this volume, I found six of them to be outstanding, with a couple of them blowing me away.
The SF stories that I enjoy the most teach me about myself and the world around me. These stories did that and more.

James Patrick Kelly's "Itsy Bitsy Spider" is a touching, thought-provoking look at our relationships with our children and our parents. "The Flowers of Aulit Prison" by Nancy Kress is immediately readable, enjoyable, and yet full of depth. With a title like "Three Hearings on the Existence of Snakes in the Human Bloodstream," you know you're NOT in store for a boring read! A masterful look at the battle between science and religion. Michael Swanwick's "The Dead" is a wonderfully disturbing look at the corporate world. And what can you say about Karen Joy Fowler's "The Elizabeth Complex," except that it's brilliant? (Man, this woman can write!)
To end the volume, Willis hits a home run by picking Grand Master Poul Anderson's "The Martyr," a story that I just can't stop thinking about.
