About the Author
Rivers Solomon is an acclaimed author whose speculative fiction explores the intersections of race, identity, and resilience in worlds both familiar and fantastical. Born to Nigerian parents and raised in the American South, Solomon draws from a rich tapestry of cultural influences to craft narratives that challenge societal norms and illuminate marginalized voices. With a background in law and a penchant for deep philosophical inquiry, their writing often delves into themes of trauma, community, and liberation, earning praise for its lyrical prose and unflinching honesty. Solomon's debut novel, An Unkindness of Ghosts, garnered widespread recognition, including nominations for prestigious awards, while their novella The Deep reimagines Afrofuturism through the lens of oceanic myth and black history. A nonbinary writer of color, Solomon continues to push boundaries, blending genres to create stories that resonate with urgency and empathy.
