Nalo Hopkinson reads from her work at the University branch of Seattle's University Book Store. Copies of her books will be available for signing after the reading. This is the fourth reading in our 2009 season's "Six Summer Evenings of Science Fiction & Fantasy" reading series.

Nalo Hopkinson is a Jamaican-born author, editor, and teacher living in Canada. She draws on her Caribbean heritage to create a powerful and unique voice that is beautiful both on the page and when read aloud. Hopkinson's brave, uncompromising fiction challenges our assumptions about history, race, and gender. Her recent novel, The New Moon's Arms, won Canada's Prix Aurora and Sunburst Awards.
