Ursula K. Le Guin’s novel *The Left Hand of Darkness* was published in 1969 and won two major science-fiction awards: the Nebula for award year 1969 and the 1970 Hugo. The dates differ without contradiction: the Nebula recognizes works from the named award year and was presented the following March, while the Hugo for this novel was awarded at the 1970 convention.
