The Science Fiction Fan Groups’ Association of Nippon (SFFAN) has announced the finalists for the 2020 Seiun Awards (the Japanese equivalent of the Hugo Awards), honoring the best original and translated works published last year in Japan.

I’m delighted that Jade City is a finalist for Best Translated Novel. This is my first award nomination for a translated edition of my work. My thanks to translator Mayumi Ohtani, to my Japanese publisher, Hayakawa, and to Japanese readers.
