- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Two excellent short(ish) stories, and some non-fiction that looks at the world of science fiction and fantasy through a clear lens. Brilliant.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Report from Planet Midnight is a tight little collection of work for Marketing Hopkinson. It contains a lovely short story about time travel, animal art, and childhood; a fascinating interview; and the titular work, a speech about race and racism in speculative fiction fandom given at an industry event.
This is a well chosen intro to the thought and work of a great, and important, voice in modern SFF. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Engaging small collection of two short stories, one performance/speech and an interview with the author. Apparently Hopkinson is something of an activist author, working towards equality and fair representation for all those in the science fiction/fantasy genre, and there is an excellent introduction to her in the interview and the speech. Putting politics aside, though, Hopkinson is a fantastic author. Each story in this volume was a really enjoyable read--from the incredible last ditch plea of a time-bending traveller in "Message in a Bottle" to the clashing sibling gods and the mortal caught in their midst in "Shift". If you're looking for a sci-fi/fantasy author outside of the cookie-cutter planetery or high fantasy mold, then you should give her stuff a try. I'm very pleased I did, and will look forward to reading more of her stuff.
