"Never."
"And, his supper?"
"I don't know. He says he will eat no more, neither shall I. My

The way led along upon what had once been the embankment of a railroad. But
no train had run upon it for many years. The forest on either side swelled
up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of
trees and bushes. The trail was as narrow as a man's body, and was no more
than a wild-animal runway.
Occasionally, a piece of rusty iron, showing through the forest-mold,
advertised that the rail and the ties still remained. In one place, a ten-

（Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award）
上一回介绍了由堪萨斯大学科幻研究中心所主事的约翰．坎伯纪念奖（John
W. Campbell Memorial Award），这一次来谈谈同一个单位所颁发的另一个
奖项—席奥多尔．史铎金纪念奖（以下简称TSMA）。
JWCMA 的授奖对象是单独成册的长篇小说，TSMA则刚好相反，所表扬的是前
一年度最为杰出的短篇作品。这个奖是1987年，同样由詹姆斯．耿恩（James
Gunn）教授和史铎金的遗孀、子嗣等共同创设，以纪念这位伟大的科幻作家
。
虽然华文读者对史铎金可说极为陌生，但他的确够资格名列科幻史上的特级
大师之一。出生于1918年的他，是科幻黄金时代的重要份子之一，和三巨头
（注一）同属坎伯麾下《惊愕科幻》（Astounding Science-Fiction）的大
将。但由于他作品风格特立独行，往往惊世骇俗，因此和坎伯时有理念上的
冲突，甚至不为美国读者所接受，而转战欧洲。曾有一阵子休息不写，直到
1946年回来重拾笔墨，终于开创出属于自己的一片天空。
