8 July 2004 — jam
NESFA continues to maintain a list of Good Stuff to read. Any NESFA member who reads
something that they would like to recommend to others to be considered for a Hugo
nomination can add it to the list. We will publish it from time to time in Instant
Message and on the nets. (Feel free to reproduce it provided you reproduce it intact!)
It’s neither definitive nor complete, but it contains the stories, novels and non-fiction
works that a bunch of well-read fans feel may be worthy of a Hugo nomination.
These are items published in 2003 and eligible for the Hugos to be presented at Noreascon 4 on Labor Day weekend 2004. Note that
novels and stories first published overseas in 2002 are also eligible.
Noreascon 4 is also doing the RetroHugos for 1953.

* The Phoenix Exultant and The Golden Transcedence are parts two and
three of the novel The Golden Age, which was divided into three volumes (the
first was published in 2002 under the title The Golden Age). The complete
novel can arguably also be nominated for a Hugo, since the final part was published in
2003.
