@MarvelStudios will we see Kahhori again? I just leaned of her character in What If…? And loved her character so much.
“what would happen if the Tesseract fell to Earth & landed in the sovereign Haudenosaunee Confederacy before the colonization of America … leading Kahhori, a young Mohawk woman, on a quest to discover her power.”
I had this amazing discussion with Elizabeth Ferry on @newbooksnetwork about my Caribbean futurism scifi book, SORDIDEZ. We talked about being Anthropologists writing fiction, & the differences between scholarly + artistic styles of storytelling. I read a bit from the prologue and we also chatted about the peculiar naming conventions for Hurricanes. #scifibooks#anthropology#IndigenousFuturism#puertorico#taino#speculativeprose
‘We’ve Already Survived an Apocalypse’: Indigenous Writers Are Changing Sci-Fi
"Long underrepresented in genre fiction, Native American and First Nations authors are reshaping its otherworldly (but still often Eurocentric) worlds"
Recent additions to my TBR pile. Never Whistle At Night, Interzone 295, Moccasin Square Gardens (Richard Van Camp), The Supply Chain (Aaron Schneider), The Pump (Sydney Hegele), Augur volume 5 Collected Edition, The Marigold (Andrew F Sullivan), and Truth Telling (Michelle Good). I leave anthologies scattered around the house so I can read a short story whenever I see one. I’m especially partial to horror stories written by Inuit authors. That’s some scary shit. @InterzoneMag@indigenousauthors@augurmag#horror#anthologies#CanLit#Indigedon#IndigenousMastodon#IndigenousFuturism#Bookstodon
Last week we celebrated the launch of E.G. Condé's SORDIDEZ, a unique Caribbean futurist novella named a Publishers Weekly Top 10 book. Watch the video learn more about the book's origins and more in a wonderful conversation with Malka Older.
Thanks to all who attended and supported in other ways! Watch the SORDIDEZ launch video here: https://youtu.be/AT7b1yC5Fk0
I had my goodbye meeting with my writing mentor this morning. She loves my new short story, a #LandBack revenge tale called “The Tupilaq” inspired by my battles in Kitchener over ecological destruction. I entered it in a cli-fi contest. Not sure it’s what the judges are looking for, but I think writing contests should be looking at #IndigenousFuturism , don’t you? #Indigedon@waterlooregion#Indigenous#WritingLife@indigenousauthors
