![]() I can readily change my own mind about which stories I prefer – it might depend on how important to me that “thing” they do is (and of course most stories do multiple different things!) – it might depend on my mood that day – it might depend on something new I’ve read that makes me think differently about a certain subject. ![]() Different stories do different things, all worthwhile. But I think that at the top, there is no way to draw fine distinctions, to insist on rankings. This doesn’t mean I don’t think some art is better than other art – I absolutely do think that. ![]() Let me reiterate something I said last year – though I participate with a lot of enjoyment in Hugo nomination and voting every year, I am philosophically convinced that there is no such thing as the “best” story – “best” piece of art, period. I have seen a fair quantity of movies, too, however. As ever, I’ll caution that I have read a lot of short fiction, but that I am less up on the other categories. ![]() Time for my annual post on what I’m thinking about for Hugo nominations. ![]()
