Next month, Nisi Shawl is heading out on tour with her new novel, Everfair, a Neo-Victorian alternate history that explores the question of what might have come of Belgium’s disastrous colonization of the Congo if the native populations had learned about steam technology a bit earlier. Shawl tells her story through a multiplicity of characters from Africans to Europeans to East Asians to African Americans, all in complex relationships with one another, in a compelling range of voices that have historically been silenced.
Everfair is available September 6th from Tor Books, and you can read an excerpt from the novel here on Tor.com. Click through for the full September tour schedule to see if she’s coming to your town!
