Erneut kann sich Chi­na Mié­ville über eine Aus­zeich­nung als bes­ter Roman für sein Werk THE CITY AND THE CITY freu­en, das in die­sem Jahr offen­bar alles abräumt, was zu krie­gen ist.

In der Kate­go­rie »Coll­ec­tion« gab es durch Stim­men­gleich­heit ein Unent­schie­den und damit zwei Gewin­ner.
