Awards are imperfect mechanisms, to say the least, but I invite you to look at this list of sf awards that Ted Chiang has won or been nominated for.
When this list is updated, it will include one more Hugo Award -- Chiang's fourth -- for The Lifecycle of Software Objects, announced this month at the World Science Fiction Convention in Reno.
If nothing else, this demonstrates the high regard, approaching veneration, that people in the sf field have for Chiang's stories. His first published story, "Tower of Babylon," won a Nebula Award, and since then, each new Chiang story is an event.
Thanks, as always, to Mark R. Kelly for his invaluable Locus Index to Science Fiction Awards.
