Rochester Reads 2023
Submitted by clarao on Thu, 06/15/2023 - 2:39am
Four-time Hugo Award-winning author N(ora). K. Jemisin’s New York Times bestselling novel The City We Became is Writers & Books’ 2023 Rochester Reads selection.“A broad-shouldered stand on the side of sanctuary, family and love. It's a joyful shout, a reclamation, and a call to arms.” (The New York Times)
In a world where every large metropolis has a soul and human avatar, New York City is attacked by an ancient evil, and awakens in the body of a young queer and houseless Black man. After being put into a magical coma, five others awake to protect him, each embodying one of the five boroughs. Together, they endeavor to defeat The Enemy, an embodiment of white supremacy, gentrification, and police brutality.
N. K. Jemisin is the first author to win three consecutive Best Novel Hugos. A 2020 MacArthur Fellow, she is the recipient of a Nebula Award and four Locus Awards. She has published 10 novels, including The Inheritance Trilogy, The Dreamblood Duology, The Broken Earth Trilogy, and The Great Cities Duology; the short story collection How Long ‘Til Black Future Month?; novellas Shades in Shadow and The Awakened Kingdom; and the graphic novel Far Sector. She lives and writes in Brooklyn, NY.
