Sheree Renee Thomas, author of Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction

Campus Lecture

7pm

Black Box Theater, Kaleidoscope

Sheree R. Thomas’ Dark Matter is an interesting mix of reprints, original stories and essays. Seventeen of the stories are original, with eleven reprints dating back to 1887. Steven Barnes, Samuel Delany, Due and Butler have established reputations within science fiction and Hopkinson has made quite a splash in the couple of years since she made her first appearance, winning the Warner first novel contest with Brown Girl in the Ring. Other authors have names which may be familiar, but which are generally associated with other fields of writing, ranging from Walter Mosley’s mysteries to the history and sociology of W.E.B. Du Bois.
