This week, we're reposting two awesome interviews with authors who were just nominated for the Hugo Award. Today's guest is Donald Oghenechovwe Ekpeki, a speculative fiction author from Nigeria, whose story 'O2 Arena' is nominated for both the Hugo and the Nebula. He has been awarded an honorable mention in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest, twice. His short story “The Witching Hour,” won the 2018 Nommo award for best short story by an African. He was longlisted for the 2019 Nommo award and the 2020 British Science Fiction Association award. He was also awarded the 2020 Horror Writers Association diversity grant and was nominated for best novella by the Nebula Awards. I usually don't give you a list of a guest's accomplishments, but in this case it is relevant. We've talked in this podcasts with guests about the way the American and British SF&F world keeps out authors from other countries, about how so much SF&F gets lost by never being noticed in the world, and I guess you know that there is a lot of inherent racism towards Africans. But whatever we know, whatever we assume, Donald shows us in this interview today many of the ways that African writers are cut off from the rest of the world, from self-publishing, from the big publishers, and more. You can find Donald on: Website: odekpeki.com/ Twitter: Twitter.com/@penprince_ Also check out the books he edited that we talked about: 'The Year's Best African Speculative Fiction (2021)' and 'Dominion'.

Aldiss es un escritor preocupado por la condición humana, de modo que su obra roza lo biográfico, repleta de sensaciones e imágenes evocadoras de la juventud y plagada de inquietudes respecto a la percepción de la realidad y a la ambigüedad de nuestro mundo, que aúna lo terrible y lo fascinante, lo bello y lo repulsivo. Sir Brian W. Aldiss, el gran anciano de la ciencia ficción británica, falleció en el año 2017 rodeado de hijos, nietos y amigos, pocas horas después de celebrar su 92 cumpleaños.

In this episode, Rob Wolf speaks with Stephen Baxter, author of The Massacre of Mankind (Crown, 2017), the alliteratively titled sequel to H. G. Wells‘ alliteratively titled classic, The War of the Worlds. Baxter is the author of over 20 novels and dozens of short stories. He’s won the John W. Campbell Award, the Philip K. Dick Award twice, and numerous British Science Fiction Association awards. Few books (science fiction or otherwise) have had as large an impact on the modern imagination as The War of the Worlds. Since it appeared as a serial in a British magazine in 1897, it has been adapted for movies (at least seven times), comics, television, video games and, most famously, in 1938 for a radio drama by Orson Welles that reportedly caused some listeners, who confused fictional news for real, to panic. In The Massacre of Mankind, Baxter envisions new technologies adapted from salvaged Martian equipment, the takeover of much of Europe by Kaiser Wilhelm, and, of course, the eventual return of the Martians, now vaccinated against the Earth-bound bacteria that vanquished them the first time. Rob Wolf is the author of The Alternate Universe and The Escape. He worked for many years as a journalist, writing on a wide range of topics from science to justice reform, and now serves as director of communications at a think tank in New York City.
