Reading for Hugos
May. 3rd, 2015 at 5:11 PM
In my copious spare time (hoo-hah), I am continuing to work my way through
the ballot for this years's Hugo Awards.
Just finished THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM, by Cixin Liu, originally written in
Chinese and translated by Ken Liu. This was the novel that just missed in
the original round of nominations, only to secure a place on the ballot when
Marko Kloos withdrew. In a half-century of Hugo Awards, there have been
very few non-English originals ever nominated, and certainly never one from
China, so THREE-BODY is a breakthrough book in that respect, and a sign that
"worldcon" is (very slowly) becoming more global.
This is a very unusual book, a unique blend of scientific and philosophical
speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology, where
kings and emperors from both western and Chinese history mingle in a
dreamlike game world, while cops and physicists deal with global
conspiracies, murders, and alien invasions in the real world.
It's a worthy nominee.
If you like lots of science in your SF, this is a book for you, especially
if you love theoretical physics, astrophysics, and mathemathics. The Chinese
background is fascinating, especially the look at the Cultural Revolution
and its aftereffects. And the prose is very clean and tight, which is not
always the case with translations, which sometimes come across as a bit
clunky. Ken Liu did a fine job, in that respect; the writing flows.
The central character at the heart of the novel is a fascinating and complex
creation, but she is not the protagonist for most of the book, and the
character who does fill that role comes across as very flat, more a
viewpoint than a person. One of the secondary players, an abrasive cop, is
much more successful; he's a bit of an asshole, but the story really comes
to life whenever he's on stage.
All in all, I liked THREE-BODY PROBLEM, but I can't say I loved it. I
thought the book started off very strong, but sagged in the middle before
picking up speed again toward the end. And the ultimate ending was
unsatisfying... mainly because, as I now see, this is just the first of
three. I DO want to know what happens next, though. So I will be reading the
next.
Now that THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM is on the ballot, I'd say that it is the
likely favorite to win (and I am pretty sure it is about to pick up the
Nebula as well). It seems to have admirers on both sides of Puppygate, which
will stand it in good stead, and it should do very well with hard science
fans and the ANALOG readers.
I am not going to reveal which book is going to get my own Hugo vote... only
which ones I think are Hugo-worthy, and deserving of a spot above NO AWARD.
So far, both THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM and THE GOBLIN EMPEROR rank above the
line for me.
The other nominees still await my attention.
Anyone else read the Cixin Liu yet? What did you think of it?

这老哥随着岁数增加越写越慢了，平均快5年出一本，考虑到他快70了真替他捏把汗，
万一有点啥意外太监了不得被骂死
