Brief comments on the 1945 Retro-Hugo Awards<\/strong><\/em>:
\nA number of these awards appear to have been voted for on name recognition (either writer or book), such as the Novelette award for City<\/em> by Clifford D. Simak (the same title as the novel, and a weak piece in a strong category); the Short Story award for I, Rocket<\/em>, by Ray Bradbury (beating out two other \u2018City\u2019 stories, Desertion<\/em> and Huddling Plac<\/em>e);2<\/sup> the Best Related Work award for The Science-Fiction Field<\/em>, by Leigh Brackett (I couldn’t find this online so wonder if anyone actually read it); and the Best Fan Writer award to Fritz Leiber (those in the know suggest Bob Tucker should have won).
\nNot a particularly useful set of awards.<\/p>\n
