Comments:
I'm glad "Jonathan Strange" won - it's an intriguing and slightly surreal book !
Dave Langford must have dozens of Hugos now - I wonder where he keeps them all ?
For those who don't know a short story is under 7,500 words in length, whereas a novelette is between 7,500 and 17,499 words in length, and a novella is between 17,500 and 39,999 words in length (to think I've been calling them all short stories all these years !) Of course a novel is anything over 40, 000 words (although half a million is considered excessive !)
