Science Fiction Awards Watch

Prix Julia Verlanger

This award was announced at Utopiales over the weekend. It is named for one of the pen names of French author Héliane Taïeb (who also wrote as Gilles Thomas). The award is for a science fiction or fantasy novel. Further information is available (in French) on Wikipedia, and slightly dodgily translated to English here. We checked with Lionel Davoust, so Wikipedia seems to have it right.

The winner fo the Prix Julia Verlanger for 2009 is Eifelheim by Michael Flynn.
