Cool!
It seems that Vellum is on the Tähtivaeltaja Award shortlist for best science fiction book (Finnish or translated):
- Hal Duncan: Vellum (Vellum, Like)
- Charlotte Perkins Gilman: Herland (Herland, Savukeidas)
- Teemu Kaskinen: Sinulle, yö (WSOY)
- Ursula Le Guin: Kahdesti haarautuva puu (The Telling, BTJ)
- Michael Moorcock: Katso ihmistä! (Behold the Man, Vaskikirjat)

Wow, is that like best sf novel ever? the List surely looks like it ...
Good company, in any case! I never quite liked Herland (yeah, it has a lot of fun feminist moments, but also disturbing hints of a fascist aesthetic), but it nevertheless is a historical milestone. And "Behold the Man", wow again! And while I consider "The Telling" one of LeGuinbs weaker works, it's still pretty great.
It's a great list, and it's made so much more beautiful by the "Vellum" on top of it!
