Each year sf editor and anthologist Jonathan Strahan, from Western Australia, choses his selection of best sf and fantasy stories of the year for his annual collection. For 2009 he has chosen 29 stories and has listed them on his weblog. Well, actually, he only lists 28 of the 29 stories, but there is a reason for that, as he explains
Among Jonathan's selections are the following by Australians:
"Ferryman" by Margo Lanagan
"This Wind Blowing, and This Tide" by Damien Broderick
Jonathan also links to Rich Horton's selection which is also slated for publication. There are some similarities in the two lists. Curiously the same two Australians appear on Horton's list, but with completely different stories.
"The Qualia Engine" by Damien Broderick
"Living Curiousities" by Margo Lanagan
