Her 2018 short story collection that I am reviewing here, How Long ’til Black Future Month?, won the Locus Award and the American Library Association’s Alex Award, and was nominated for the World Fantasy Award. Jemisin has been nominated in other categories, including short fiction. Finally, last year, The City We Became was Jemisin’s fifth nomination in the novel category, and it also took that year’s Locus and BSFA awards.Īnd these are just the novel awards.
Jemisin’s conclusion to the Broken Earth Trilogy scored the Hugo, Locus, and Nebula awards in a stunning trifecta. Jemisin’s Broken Earth Trilogy won the Hugo awards (in the novel category) in three successive years (2015, 2016, 2017)-making her, I believe, the only author to have an entire trilogy win, the only author to win three years in a row, and one of only five writers who have three or more wins.
In terms of influence, Jemisin is perhaps the science fiction writer with the most major awards and nominations in the last decade.
Jemisin is one of the most powerful writers in contemporary speculative fiction, I am making a claim of both influence and content. How Long ’til Black Future Month? by N.K.
