Which 1991 Nebula Finalist Novelettes Have You Read?
 
Tower of Babylon by Ted Chiang
1/72nd Scale by Ian R. MacLeod
A Time for Every Purpose by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Loose Cannon by Susan Shwartz
Over the Long Haul by Martha Soukup
The Coon Rolled Down and Ruptured His Larinks, A Squeezed Novel by Mr.
Skunk
by Dafydd ab Hugh
The Manamouki by Mike Resnick
The Shobies' Story by Ursula K. Le Guin
 
No, I don't know why the number of finalists is so variable. Didn't
read the MacLeod or the Rusch. Otherwise, I have read them all.
The ab Hugh crammed a lot of right-wing tropes into a fairly
short story so it's no surprise he later became a far right
pundit.

None? BTW, ab Hugh being a far right pundit, the wikipedia article on
him doesn't mention that; are you confusing him with the David Friedman
who is the son of Milton Friedman (and is 15 years older than "ab Hugh").

 
Nope!

I wonder how long he was a pundit; I searched for his name on Google and
found many mentions of books of his, but nothing else before I gave up.

I also can distinguish between Joel Rosenbergs.

Joel is a common name and Rosenberg isn't exactly unique so I expect
there are a lot of Joel Rosenbergs out there.

Once during a tabletop roleplaying game campaign, I named a Surete du
Quebec character by adding the most common male given name in Quebec
to the most common surname in Quebec. If I'd bothered to drop the
result into a search engine, I would have seen that that was the
name of the current head of the Surete du Quebec.
