How Long 'Til Black Future Month? (Thorndike Press Large Print African American Series)

N. K. Jemisin is the first author in the genre's history to win three consecutive Best Novel Hugo Awards, all for her Broken Earth trilogy. Her work has also won the Nebula, Locus, and Goodreads Choice Awards. She is currently a reviewer for the New York Times Book Review, and she has been an instructor for the Clarion and Clarion West writing workshops. In her spare time she is a gamer and gardener, and she is also single-handedly responsible for saving the world from King Ozzymandias, her dangerously intelligent ginger cat, and his phenomenally destructive sidekick Magpie.

"Jemisin is now a pillar of speculative fiction, breathtakingly imaginative and narratively bold."--Entertainment Weekly

"There are so many things in How 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

"[E]loquently develops a series of passionately felt themes... one of speculative fiction's most thoughtful and exciting writers."--Kirkus (starred review)

"Powerful and mind-expanding...Jemisin pushes boundaries, experiments with format and theme, and challenges expectations."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"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

"Jemisin's phenomenal success has been something like an earthquake ripping through the traditional order of fantasy itself."--New York/Vulture

"Marvelous and wide-ranging."--Los Angeles Times

"Read her books-they're probably better than whatever else you were going to read next."--Literary Hub

"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

"Established fans of Jemisin's work and general fantasy and sf readers alike should check out this collection of diverse and exciting new speculative fiction."--Booklist
