Wordplay 2021: Out of this World
Out of this World with Dhonielle Clayton, Namina Forna, Joan He, and Charlie Jane Anders
Virtual Wordplay is a presentation of St. Catherine University and Star Tribune. This event is in partnership with Ryan Reads (a program of Ryan Companies).
Dhonielle Clayton has brought together a groundbreaking collection of fantasy short stories from 15 authors in A Universe of Wishes: A We Need Diverse Books Anthology, Namina Forna introduces a world in which the color of blood determines fate in The Gilded Ones, Joan He asks if a STEM prodigy should even bother saving the earth in The Ones We’re Meant to Find, and Charlie Jane Anders explores themes of identity and destiny against the backdrop of an intergalactic war in Victories Greater Than Death. These stories twist, turn, and defy the world we know.
