N.K. Jemisin on THE WORLD WE MAKE
\u201c\u2026The idea just kind of spun itself into existence in my head, the world started to form almost immediately \u2014 when my creative brain kind of immediately kicks in like that, I've learned to listen to it, because usually, that means something, something good is trying to come out.\u201d N.K. Jemisin \u2014 winner of three consecutive Hugo Awards for Best Novel (each of the Broken Earth books) and now a fourth for Best Graphic Story or Comic (Far Sector), and MacArthur \u201cgenius grant\u201d recipient \u2014 is one of our favorite writers, and we\u2019ll follow her anywhere. She joins us on the show to talk about closing out her Great Cities duology with The World We Make,\xa0adapting\xa0the Broken Earth series for the screen, the challenges of writing about a city massively in flux, NY pizza, Ozymandias the cat, her literary inspirations, what\u2019s she\u2019s reading and more with guest host Kat Sarfas.\xa0And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Madyson.
