Well, the Aurealis Awards have been and gone, and unfortunatly we didn't bag any. Nevertheless, four nominations is not to be sneezed at, especially in the light of this great review - Asimov's.
"Curious about the state of science fiction Down Under? Than you could not better repay yourself than by grabbing a copy of Nor of Human . . . (CSFG Publishing, trade, AUS$16.95, 190 pages, ISBN 0-646-41393-7). Editor Geoffrey Maloney, along with fourteen other fine writers (all unjustly unknown to us sheltered North Americans), delve with wit and vigor into the lives of strange beings, both stefnal and fantastical, from wyverns to alien "possums." I enjoyed every entry here, and it?s hard to pick favorites, but I was impressed by Allan Price?s "Quacaha," which addresses an alien invasion of Earth?s biosphere in ingenious ways.
