Entirely too short, but still recommended. Only four stories, one essay, and an interview. Not sure about the title though. Why should Nisi Shawl talk like a man? Their voice is perfect the way it is.http://www.templetongate.net/talk-lik...
I honestly didn’t quite understand what I was reading a lot of the time. Probably not the best introduction to their writing, maybe I should start with something else. Very imaginative, but I had trouble tracking the stories.
Some short stories, a lecture, and an interview.
Nisi Shawl is an African American writer, editor, and journalist. They are best known for their science fiction and fantasy stories and novels dealing with race, gender, and sexual orientation. They live in Seattle, where they also write on political and cultural matters for the Seattle Times. Even before Shawl’s steampunk-flavored alternate history of the “Belgian” Congo, Everfair, took the sci-fi world by storm, their short stories had already established them as a cutting-edge black writer wh...

Somehow, Nisi Shawl's writing always comes at the right time for me. I enjoyed the shorts and essays here and with "Something More" was reminded of how I wish I could write about music and musicians in the way they do. I was taken back to what struck me about Filter House and see that Shawl still has that flair for making the fantastic part of the every day.
I think I would normally enjoy this book (I've enjoyed other books by this author), but these were a little too dense for me...covid brain.
'The Afrodiasporic religious outlook is deeply pragmatic; it makes use of what is useful'-Nisi Shawl. I don't want to rate this collection; as it was really only four short stories, an explanation of Ifa (a Yoruba religion and system of divination) and Shawl's involvement in it, and an interview on their writing process and views on SFFH (Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror).The story 'Women of the Doll' was the most memorable for me; a secret, not-so-secret organization that give at risk, vulne...
I haven't read her novel yet but I like Shawl's short fiction a lot. The essay & interview are interesting too.
Je dois avouer que la collection d'anthologie de quelques nouvelles de PM Press (Outspoken Authors Series) ne m'interpelle pas vraiment de manière générale, il y a quelque chose avec le choix des nouvelles littéraires qui ne m'intéresse souvent, et très étrangement, pas beaucoup tandis que les essais, les pièces de témoignages, entrevues, discours, j'adore!Cet ouvrage ne fait pas exception à la règle, il y a un super texte de Shawl à la fin qui réfléchit les liens entre science-fiction, technolo...
Some of the stories were decent, some were confusing and boring. I guess I'd probably read something else by them.
