Readers of N. K. Jemisin's novels and essays know her as a fiercely intelligent observer and compelling storyteller. This wide-ranging collection is unified by its focus on Jemisin's portrayals of kinship, a thread that runs through her work, including the multiply award-winning Broken Earth trilogy. In Jemisin's fiction, family can be the worst enemy, and nonhuman entities can be our most important kin. Editors Bonnevier and Astroem have brought together a distinguished group of contributors who invite us to read and ponder Jemisin's sometimes scathing, always fascinating vision of humanity in all its relationships.--Brian Attebery, Idaho State University and author of Fantasy: How It Works
