The City Born Great by N.K. Jemisin5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Since then, I have read all of Jemisin’s books and really liked them all, the Broken Earth trilogy being my favorite series of hers.Īs you may know by now, I love short fiction. I have been a huge fan of Jemisin since 2015 when I binge-read both her Inheritance trilogy and her Dreamblood duology. And in the Hugo award-nominated short story “The City Born Great,” a young street kid fights to give birth to an old metropolis’s soul. A black mother in the Jim Crow south must figure out how to save her daughter from a fey offering impossible promises. In a parallel universe, a utopian society watches our world, trying to learn from our mistakes. Dragons and hateful spirits haunt the flooded city of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In these stories, Jemisin sharply examines modern society, infusing magic into the mundane, and drawing deft parallels in the fantasy realms of her imagination.
