Interview: Fabio Fernandes on We See A Different Frontier Project [Culturelicious] | Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture
yesterday
what fiction suits best the discussion of the zeitgeist–the spirit of times, our times and the times to come–than science fiction? A few authors are doing it now (Cory Doctorow, Charles Stross, Neal Stephenson, Alastair Reynolds, and Ian McDonald come to mind–but guess what? All male Anglos. I want to make clear I have absolutely nothing against them or their works–I love them all, and I find them true trailblazers. I just wanted to see more people from different countries, speaking different languages, from different ethnicities, genders, writing about the same issues. Or similar issues from their own POVs.
JG: Are you sure you can’t think of a single female non-white author whose fiction suits our time? C’mon, Fabio!
FF: Of course I can! Lots of them! (But did you ask me this? I didn’t think so.) Octavia E. Butler, Nalo Hopkinson, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, N.K. Jemisin, Aliette DeBodard, Nnedi Okorafor, to name a few.
