literary / MFA circles 'cause you know those of us with brown skin and dark eyes, who tend to be one of the only few in those circles always look for authors who not only are breaking the color barriers in publishing, but narrative stagnation and normativity.

so thanks for this post 'cause it's reminding me to read her books. I recently read one of her shorts "It's War" from the anthology Long Hidden", and it was very dope. That anthology also has a FANTASTIC short from Victor LaValle, who just generally is the truth.

in that other "Politics of Sci-Fi" post I linked a convo between her and Sotomar
