How Long 'til Black Future Month?

by N. K. Jemisin - £8.99  Little, Brown Book Group (Orbit) (2018)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780356512549 | ISBN 10: 0356512541

Hugo award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N. K. Jemisin sharply examines modern society in her first short story collection.
 
N. K. Jemisin is one of the most powerful and acclaimed speculative fiction authors of our time. In the first collection of her evocative short fiction, Jemisin equally challenges and delights readers with thought-provoking narratives of destruction, rebirth, and redemption.
 
In these stories, Jemisin sharply examines modern society, infusing magic into the mundane, and drawing deft parallels in the fantasy realms of her imagination. Dragons and hateful 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.
