1973 Best Novelette Hugo

The 1973 Best Novelette Hugo was presented September 2 at Torcon 2.

This category had been merged with Best Short Story since Heicon '70 and was restored starting at Torcon 2.

Torcon 2 published the order of only the first three places in each category, leaving the order of the later finishers sometimes in doubt.

1. "Goat Song" by Poul Anderson [F&SF Feb 1972]
2. "Patron of the Arts" by William Rotsler [ Universe 2, 1972]
3. "Basilisk" by Harlan Ellison [F&SF Aug 1972]

• "A Kingdom by the Sea" by Gardner R. Dozois [Orbit #10, 1972]
• "Painwise" by James Tiptree, Jr. [F&SF Feb 1972]
