One of the problems with awards of any type is that the voters often haven't seen all of the nominated works. What value can there be then in the result?

So, top marks to the BSFA for producing a booklet containing this year's BSFA short story shortlist, and distributing it to BSFA members. The four shortlisted stories are all fine in their own way. But for me the best of the bunch is "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang.
