Grand Master Gene WolfeIn news that will surprise absolutely no one on the planet, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America have named the legendary Gene Wolfe as their 2012 Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master.

The award is given, more or less annually, for contributions to the literature of Science Fiction and Fantasy.  Check out the official press release for some nice comments from last year’s recipient, Connie Willis, and others.

If you’re a participant in WWEnd’s 2012 Grand Master Reading Challenge you can add Mr. Wolfe to your challenge list if you’ve read him this year.  If  you’re a fast reader you have a couple weeks to get him in under the wire!

Our congratulations to Gene Wolfe!

Very Cool. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of the title than Wolfe.
