In Hollywood, a Hugo Award for best film or TV series may not carry the same cachet as an Oscar or an Emmy, but in bookstores from New York to Moscow, a bright Hugo Award badge on the cover of a novel can help it stand out. In their early days, the Hugo Awards recognized writers who have since become genre legends, like Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Frank Herbert; more recently, honorees have included modern masters like George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson, and N.K. Jemisin. But last week, the Hugo Awards melted down over unexplained disqualifications. Insiders tell Esquire what really happened—and what it could mean for the future of literary awards. |

| If this is really Larry David's final farewell, we should celebrate the 110-plus episodes he's given us so far. Not that I need the excuse! My colleague Adrienne Westenfeld and I asked our editor if "every episode" was an acceptable answer to "How many episodes should we include in our 'Best of' rankings?" For sanity's sake, we settled on a top 20—and even that was difficult. We had a meeting in Esquire's largest conference room for this one, which should tell you that this is very important work. |

| Truman Capote's "La Côte Basque," originally published in the November 1975 issue of Esquire, was meant to serve as the first taste from his upcoming masterpiece about the inner circles of high society women. That novel, eventually called Answered Prayers, wouldn't publish until after the writer's death, but the passage became famous for the scandals it brought. Recently, it was adapted for the television screen, for FX's Feud: Capote vs. the Swans. Read the entire story, in full. |
