Dobitnici nagrade Locus za 2021. godinu

Svake godine u Seattleu dodjeljuje se jedna od najprestižnijih žanrovskih književnih nagrada – Locus Award. Ove godine je kao i prošle dodijela iznimno održana na virtualnom Locus Awards Weekendu. Prateći nominacije i pobjednike najlakše možete doći do popisa literature koju bi trebalo uvrstiti na listu za čitanje, pogotovo zato što nagrade ne dodjeljuje nikakav specifičan žiri, već čitatelji magazina za znanstvenu fantastiku Locus. Posebnu nagradu Locus ove su godine dobili Bill Campbell i Rosarium Publishing za ‘pojačavanje’ marginaliziranih glasova.
