Filter House, Nisi Shawl

Filter House is Nisi Shawl’s first book, a collection of short stories that all fit under the broad umbrella of speculative fiction, some leaning more toward science fiction, some toward fantasy, some toward magic realism, some toward the supernatural, all drawing on African/African-American experience and story. Shawl tends toward a literary voice, but I found all the stories in this collection accessible and immensely readable. Shawl looks fearlessly at the intersection of race, class and gender, and speaks from a post-colonial perspective that makes her work thought-provoking as well as entertaining.

I’m very much anticipating Shawl’s next published fiction, no matter what it is or when it arrives on the bookstore shelves.
