Charts showing International award finalists and their rating counts on Goodreads
Commentary
Sorry, this is really buggy at the moment, so please ignore except for noting
the fact that I am aware of these issues, and I do intend to fix them at some
point. Known issues are:
Some books don't have their ISBNs picked up, and thus we don't get their
Goodreads ratings. I think this is due in part to some code that
currently prefers English-language releases, although that wouldn't explain
why the Australian Ditmar Award suffers this problem.
Non-Roman character titles display as HTML entity codes. This is partly
down to issues I had with XML (needed due to SVG) being more pedantic about
encoding than HTML.
Non-Roman titles are shown when the original and/or English language title
would (probably) be preferable for most people who are likely to read this.
Ditmar Award / Australian Science Fiction Achievement Award - Best International Long Fiction
It's not clear to me whether the 1979 nomination for "The Persistence of
Vision" is for
the collection of that
name
(aka In the Hall of the Martian Kings, which is the title
SFADB list it under)
or the novella of
that name. ISFDB have it
attributed
to the latter, but I've put in an override to use the former instead.
This
may mean this work is undercounted, as the novella appears in numerous
subsequent collections and anthologies. (This sort of thing is a prime
example of why I've avoided doing charts
on novella categories.
Kurd-Laßwitz-Preis - Bester ausländischer SF-Roman / Bestes ausländisches Werk
At time of writing, ISFDB only has runner-up details for 2016. I'm guessing
from the fact that these runners-up are in English and Roman characters,
whereas everything else is in Japanese, that they were probably submitted
by someone else.
Works are also complicated by the Japanese publishing industry practice of
splitting up many novels into two halves.
