WORLD SHAKER A FANTASY WRITER BREAKS THROUGH

摘要

Six fantasy nqvels. Three Hugo Award nominations. A book reviewer gig at The New York Times. N. K. Jemisin was by all accounts a successful writer, but she still had to work a day job to make rent. That changed earlier this year when she turned to Patreon, a crowdfunding site that lets fans pledge monthly stipends to artists they love. Her campaign was so successful that she was able to quit and write full time. That's wonderful for her, and it's good for us too-because we can't wait for her to finish her dark, lyrical Broken Earth trilogy. The second book, The Obelisk Gate, comes out in August, and the combination of seismologic geekery and social commentary has rocked our world.
