Arts Interview: In-Depth Conversation with Ann Leckie
Ann Leckie, science fiction author, is the record-breaking winner of all the major science fiction awards - the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke and Locus. A wonderful and inspiring achievement, she has a huge enthusiatic fan following of her Imperial Radch Trilogy: Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Sword, and Ancillary Mercy. Ann has worked as a waitress, a receptionist, a rodman on a land-surveying crew, and a recording engineer. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri. She has also published short stories in Subterranean Magazine, Strange Horizons, and Realms of Fantasy. Her story "Hesperia and Glory" was reprinted in Science Fiction: The Best of the Year, 2007 Edition edited by Rich Horton. Ann's new book is the highly anticipated Provenance. Join Ruth COpland and Ann Leckie as they talk about her life, art, and new book!
"If you don't know the Ancillary series by now, you probably should. Ann Leckie's sociopolitical space opera almost singlehandedly breathed new cool into the stereotype of spaceships trundling through far-off systems amid laser battles." - NPR Books
