Look who's above Heinlein & Asimov & Clarke & Jack Vance & John Varley. Or was it that the first 3 of these did their best work during the decade preceding 53?<br /><br />Also, which of the top 5 on this list you would really put on genre's all time greats - even since 53? I'll go with Anderson & Leiber, may be, but Willis & Ellison?<br /><br />Oh - I do understand it's a popularity contest. And I do sometimes look at Hugo lists - only this chart puts across the limits of popularity contest rather starkly.Tinkoohttp://variety-sf.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172359179613729870.post-6988135067504589742009-07-29T13:47:02.232+05:302009-07-29T13:47:02.232+05:30why 'not to be taken seriously'?
That lis...why 'not to be taken seriously'?<br /><br />That list represents awards given out since 1953, for all of the author categories (short, novel, etc)Crotchety Old Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092745636011711266noreply@blogger.com
