The James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award Council is pleased to announce that the 2004 Tiptree Award has two winners: Joe Haldeman’s novel Camouflage (Ace Books 2004) and Finnish author Johanna Sinisalo’s novel Troll: A Love Story (Grove Press 2004).
The award ceremony will be held at Gaylaxicon, in Boston, Massachusetts, July 1-4, 2005. Each winner will receive $1000 in prize money, an original artwork created specifically for the award, and the signature chocolate that always accompanies the Tiptree Award.
The James Tiptree Jr. Award is presented annually to a work that explores and expands gender roles in science fiction and fantasy. The Award was created in 1991 to honor Alice Sheldon, who wrote under the pseudonym James Tiptree, Jr. By her chance choice of a masculine pen name, Sheldon helped break down the imaginary barrier between writing by women and men.
