Alt.history wins the nebula

Lady and Gents: Here's the winner of the 2008 Nebula Award for best novel--Michael Chabon's, The Yiddish Policemen's Union. Pretty spectacular title, really. More importantly, nice cover. Mostly ref'ed here for Panic, as it's one of them alternate history novels. 

What's pretty cool, is that a lot of the nominated works this year can be found online. For free! (I just read Nancy Kress' Fountain of Age--good, but not as awesome as her Sleepless books. Also reminded me a bit of Verner Vinge's Rainbows End [Which is excellent. Just read it, dammit. Best forward thinkerer, evar.]).

Odd, I much preferred Kavalier & Clay... YPU was ok though. The part about Berlin is pretty weird.

That's a pretty sweet cover.
