Listen "Episode 686: Kemi Ashing-Giwa and The King Must Die"
Episode Synopsis
Our guest this week is the remarkable Kemi Ashing-Giwa, whose new novel The King Must Die is out in November. We talk about science fantasy—or whether genre labels mean much at all to the new generation of writers—her own influences, her well-received first novel, the space opera The Splinter in the Sky, and even her current scientific work on mass extinctions and the loss of her family home in the California wildfires earlier this year.
As always, our thanks to Kemi for making time to talk to us today, and we hope you enjoy the episode.
