And so we come to the final episode of the 2022 Coode Street Advent Calendar. Gary sits down to chat with a dear friend of the podcast, Elizabeth Hand, about what she’s been reading, what she’d recommend, her holiday recommendations, her own classic Christmas story, “Chip Crockett’s Christmas Carol“, and her fabulous new novel Hokolua Road.
We’d like to thank Liz for making the time to chat with us, and we hope you enjoy the episode.
Way back in March 2020 we sat down with N.K. Jemisin to talk about her then-new fantasy novel, The City We Became. It was great. Then we had a whole pandemic, so we thought we’d check in to see how things are going. The holidays are literally upon us and Jonathan and Nora chat about what she’s been reading, what she’d recommend, and the sequel to that 2020 novel, The World We Make.
As always, our thanks to Nora. We hope you enjoy the episode.
We spoke with Tochi Onyebuchi back in 2020 as part of “Ten Minutes with…“, when his award-winning novella Riot Baby was still new in the world. Since then Tochi’s been busy but has still managed to deliver another incredible novel, this time Goliath.
Today Jonathan and Tochi discuss what he’s been reading, what he’d recommend, his holiday reads, and what he’s been working on.
As always, our thanks to Tochi. We hope you enjoy the episode.
We are at the end of the year as I write this and I’m beginning to throw together a list of books coming out in 2023 that I’m interested in reading. This list will change and evolve over time, but this is a start at least.
Although Nghi Vo published her first short story all the way back in 2007, it’s only been in the last five years that she’s really grabbed everyone’s attention, first with the ‘Singing Hills’ cycle of novellas, then with her stunning debut novel, The Chosen and the Beautiful. This year she has two books among the year’s very best: ‘Singing Hills’ novella Into the Riverlands and her fabulous sophomore novel, Siren Queen.
Today for the Coode Street Advent Calendar Gary sits down to talk to Nghi about what she’s been reading, what she’d recommend, her holiday reads, and what she’s got coming out.
As always, our thanks to Nghi for making the time. We hope you all enjoy the episode.
