N.
K.
Jemisin
sharply
examines
modern
society
in
her
first
collection
of
short
fiction.
N.
K.
Jemisin
is
one
of
the
most
powerful
and
acclaimed
authors
of
our
time.
In
the
first
collection
of
her
evocative
short
fiction,
which
includes
never-before-seen
stories,
Jemisin
equally
challenges
and
delights
readers
with
thought-provoking
narratives
of
destruction,
rebirth,
and
redemption.
Spirits
haunt
the
flooded
streets
of
New
Orleans
in
the
aftermath
of
Hurricane
Katrina.
In
a
parallel
universe,
a
utopian
society
watches
our
world,
trying
to
learn
from
our
mistakes.
A
black
mother
in
the
Jim
Crow
South
must
save
her
daughter
from
a
fey
offering
impossible
promises.
And
in
the
Hugo
award-nominated
short
story
"The
City
Born
Great,"
a
young
street
kid
fights
to
give
birth
to
an
old
metropolis's
soul.

Recenzii
"The
most
celebrated
science
fiction
and
fantasy
writer
of
her
generation...
Jemisin
seems
able
to
do
just
about
everything."—New
York
Times
"Jemisin's phenomenal success has been something like an earthquake ripping through the traditional order of fantasy itself."—New York/Vulture
"The most critically acclaimed author in contemporary science fiction and fantasy."—GQ
"Marvelous and wide-ranging."—Los Angeles Times
"One line from [Jemisin's introduction] has tattooed itself on my mind, a sort of manifesto for her ongoing work and all the fiction I love: 'Now I am bolder, and angrier, and more joyful.' I felt, after reading these stories, that I was too."—NPR Books
"Read her books-they're probably better than whatever else you were going to read next."—Literary Hub
"Jemisin is now a pillar of speculative fiction, breathtakingly imaginative and narratively bold."—Entertainment Weekly
"Nora Jemisin is a writer of uncanny gifts who is to a moral certainty one of the five best we have right now."—Sci-Fi
"Powerful and mind-expanding...Jemisin pushes boundaries, experiments with format and theme, and challenges expectations."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"[E]loquently develops a series of passionately felt themes... one of speculative fiction's most thoughtful and exciting writers."—Kirkus (starred review)
"Whether she's exploring alien life forms or political machinations, self-sacrifice or monsters in New Orleans, Jemisin's characters are boldly drawn, complex, and so engaging. This is a great gift for any long-time fan and a solid introduction to her work for the curious, and I highly recommend you grab yourself the gorgeous hardcover version."—Book Riot/Swords & Spaceships
"There are so many things inHow Long 'Til Black Future Month-from firebirds to Megacops, from truffles to hurricanes, from utopias (maybe) to civil rights marches-that it's impossible to describe. Except to say that every single story here is riveting, provocative, and remarkable. An extraordinary story collection from an extraordinary writer!"—Connie Willis, Hugo and Nebula Award winner
"These stories are wonderful. In worlds both invariably cruel and brilliantly imagined, heroism thrives in the margins."—Nicky Drayden, author of The Prey of Gods
