Elizabeth (Alaska) What would you do with this?

The Unreal and the Real: Selected Stories, Volume One: Where on Earth

The Unreal and the Real: Selected Stories, Volume Two: Outer Space, Inner Lands

This two volume work won the 2014 Oregon Book Award for Fiction, but is listed in the GR catalog as two books. Would you list the award for each? Would you make a note, and, if so, where?

I would list the award for each if the award is given to both parts.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments It seems it's impossible to add notes or anything to the awards. It would clutter far too much to refer to the other part as well.

So, therefore, I agree with Riikka - that's already been done with the other award they were nominated for: /award/show/....


Elizabeth (Alaska) Thanks! that's what I wanted to do, but wondered if there was a better way.


Elizabeth (Alaska) National Jewish Book Awards have several sub-awards. Would you list them all as the National Jewish Book Awards, as here:

/award/show/...

or would you list them under their Endowment name.

I tend to think it better to list them all under the main award, and use the category descriptor for the Endowment, thereby keeping them all together, but I'd like to hear your input.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments I guess it does depend how many endowments there are. I guess it is possible to list them thus (using the first winner as an example):
My Glorious Brothers - National Jewish Book Award for Fiction (Harry and Ethel Daroff Award) (1949)

I would hope that it wouldn't be too long a description, though. If the endowments are repeated, might be better to create separate ones, despite the work involved in linking them all back to each other, as it will look tidier. I think the main idea is to provide clarity and it might get too confusing and cluttered on the book pages with some of the longer endowment names.

I do know also that you've already split up some other awards?


Elizabeth (Alaska) It appears that a category has the same endowment does not continue throughout the entire years of the award. Your fiction example of the Harry and Ethel Daroff Award is 1949-1988; 1989-1991 fiction is awarded via the Wiliam and Janice Epstein Award; then 1992 the Arete Foundation, and so on.

So, I might put these Endowments/Foundations in the description of the Award, but list the winners as:

National Jewish Book Award for Fiction (1949)

There are already some of the more recent years already here. This will have to be added to the "needs to be added list."

Thanks, Susie, for helping me think this through.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments Ah, if it changes, then yeah, might be easier to just skip the Endowment then. If it's not as important, then just saying the category should be enough for anyone looking them up.
