Praise

“Shawl’s keen sense of justice and her adamant anticolonialism always ride just beneath the surface of her stories. Never didactic, Shawl possesses the gift of a true storyteller: the ability to let the warp and weft of plot and character do her moral work for her.”
—Brian Charles Clark in Curled Up with a Good Book

“A talented and distinctive voice.”
—Daniel Haeusser of The Skiffy and Fanty Show

“Nisi Shawl tells stories as if she has just awakened from a vivid and terrifying dream, and she’s intent on relating its details.”
—Seattle Times

“Shawl is brilliant.”
—Amal el-Mohtar on NPR
