damerell at 02:41am on 10/10/2007Some time ago we had a discussion about a sad omission from the Hugo "short story" "novella" "novellette" "novel" "sub-novelette" "semi-novella" etc length categories; "brick".
Most Hugo categories have a set of criteria and "brick" should be no exception, so you are invited to suggest same. To get you started;
So long, cover style changed between front and back cover.
Man with copy in breast pocket saved from being shot. By tank.
Neil Stephenson / China Mieville think author "wordy bastard".
Book requires exoskeleton in place of spine.
Book contains more than seventeen occurences of word "clench".
"Comparable to Tolkien at his most thinly spread by Christopher."
