The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Of America just annunciate theNebula Awardsfinalists , and there are a couple of surprising omissions .
I ’m kind of surprised Neal Stephenson did n’t get a nod in the novel category , not to mention Iain Banks ’ Matter . But I ’m thrilled for Kelley Eskridge getting nominated in the novelette class . Also , the more I ponder , the more surprised I am that Hunger Games did n’t make it in the young - grownup family .
