Grand list! So, Kaye, in your years of involvement with crime fiction, how many times have you guessed the winners before the judges knew themselves?
ReplyDeleteIf i may honey, about Anthony Boucher! He was more than a reviewer (note i didn't say "just a...") but was the quintessential genre fan. Reviewer, author (as H H Holmes), radio playwright, editor, (co-founder of the best science fiction magazine out there) and a great fan and enthusiast.
