How Long til Black Future Month

N.K. Jemisin · 2018

Speculative stories from the three-time Hugo winner. Jemisin builds worlds in 20 pages that most authors can't manage in 400.

The case against

Career-spanning collections carry their drafts along: several pieces are trial runs you will recognize from the novels, 'Stone Hunger' rehearsing the Broken Earth, 'The City Born Great' awaiting its expansion. 'The Ones Who Stay and Fight' answers Le Guin's Omelas with an argument instead of a story. Strong worlds; the people inside them get twenty pages' worth of life.
