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 650 0 Short stories, American 650 0 Speculative fiction 650 7 African American.|2bisacsh 650 7 Epic.|2bisacsh 650 7 Urban Life.|2bisacsh 650 7 Alien Contact.|2bisacsh 650 7 Collections & Anthologies.|2bisacsh 650 7 Space Exploration.|2bisacsh 650 7 Rymden|2sao 650 7 Rymdvarelser|2sao 655 7 Fantasy fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Short stories.|2gsafd 655 7 Fantasy|2saogf 655 7 Noveller|2saogf 907 00 190104
