Gateway by Frederik Pohl: The most dreadful of Hugo winners<\/a>: “Gateway by Frederik Pohl: The most dreadful of Hugo winners Long before he was named Best Fan Writer \u00e2\u20ac\u201d way back in 1978, in fact \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Frederik Pohl won another Hugo (and a Nebula too), for his novel Gateway. And yikes, what a book.<\/p>\nGateway is one of the Hugo winners I’d read before starting this project, and when I think about it, it’s lingered with me more than any other \u00e2\u20ac\u201d except maybe Lord of Light \u00e2\u20ac\u201d primarily because the book is so dreadful.<\/p>\n
