Si ce trophée devrait changer, ce serait pour des raisons esthétiques (comme beaucoup, je le trouve plutôt moche) et, plus encore, du fait qu’il soit constitué d’ivoire…
China Miéville, tel que cité sur le blog de Nnedi Okorafor, me paraît avoir trouvé une manière convenable de gérer le problème :
“So where does that leave the World Fantasy Award? Well, in my case, I have always done something very specific and simple. I consider the award inextricable from but not reducible to Lovecraft himself. Therefore, I was very honoured to receive the award as representative of a particular field of literature. And the award itself, the statuette of the man himself? I put it out of sight, in my study, where only I can see it, and I have turned it to face the wall. So I am punishing the little fucker like the malevolent clown he was, I can look at it and remember the honour, and above all I am writing behind Lovecraft’s back. ”
