N. K. Jemisin

Every second Friday of the month at 7.30 pm we, the English speaking clientele of the Otherland Bookshop, meet to discuss a selected science fiction, fantasy or horror book and enjoy snacks and drinks in our favourite bookstore.

This time we’ll be looking into another recent novel, N. K. Jemisin’s 2015 science fantasy novel The Fifth Season. It’s the opening work introducing us to the world of Broken Earth, taking place on a single supercontinent that undergoes regular catastrophic climatic upheavals, the eponymous Fifth Season.

N.K. Jemisin is a speculative fiction writer and blogger as well as a psychologist and career counselor. She has written many short stories and The Inheritance trilogy. The Shadowed Sun is the third book of her Dreamblood Series. In this novel, Gujaareh, the city of dreams, suffers under the imperial rule of the Kisuati Protectorate. A city where the only law was peace now knows violence and oppression. And nightmares: a mysterious and deadly plague haunts the citizens, dooming them to die screaming in their sleep. Find out why when Clarion Instructor Nora visits Mysterious Galaxy.
