	Filling the Sky With Islands: An Interview with Nalo Hopkinson
		Hopkinson explores this world through the eyes of Tan-Tan, a young girl who is taken to New Half-Way Tree by her father after he accidentally kills a man in a duel.
		According to Hopkinson, it's a tale that Tan-Tan "identifies with a lot," so much so that she ultimately takes on the persona of the Midnight Robber herself.
		By mixing an older Caribbean culture with the creatures and customs of her colony world, Hopkinson followed the example of modern-day Caribbean culture, which is a melting pot of images and ideas from Europe and Africa.

	Strange Horizons Reviews: A Historical Prose Poem: Nalo Hopkinson's The Salt Roads, reviewed by Sean ...
		Hopkinson comes is when Baudelaire's mother meets Jeanne, but because she is his mother and has a personal stake in his life, not just a political one, she is not enough to be representative of the whole of society.
		Hopkinson is a fl, female writer who writes with such a warm and endearing voice that she can take large and complex issues and weave a story from them with a clear moral, but without devolving into clumsy didacticism.
		Hopkinson writes with such ease that it is a pleasure to sit and listen to her for a while, and to walk away with a profound sense of what it must be like to be a fl woman.

	Highlights of Bear_Benford Conversation
		Nalo Hopkinson: I used to get my girdle in a knot about questions like that, trying to figure out how in the world you could put them together and then I thought about the real world and that is what we do every day.
		Nalo Hopkinson: My mother would get really cranky if people weren't doing their chores so I managed to be both a tomboy and a bookworm simultaneously, out of the house, up a tree with a book in my teeth.
		Nalo Hopkinson: Yes, I think it is persistence and I realized listening to Connie talk that I have gotten into the habit of believing that my stories are things that people reject.

		Hopkinson: I guess that you could read me as down on men (as though men operated from a single group mind) if of all my published fiction and produced plays you'd only read Brown Girl in the Ring and Midnight Robber.

	Nalo Hopkinson's "Brown Girl in the Ring"
		Nalo Hopkinson's Brown Girl in the Ring envisions a twenty-first century Toronto that has suffered political and economic crises of such proportions that it has been barricaded off and abandoned by its moneyed, predominantly White suburbs.
		Hopkinson's use of magic in this story marks a departure from the purely instrumentalist depictions of voodoo generally to be found in genre science fiction and horror.
		Hopkinson's sophisticated refutation of such a characterization, grounded as it is in an entirely different notion of history, tradition and values, is positively inspirational.

		Nalo Hopkinson's The Salt Roads centers on the spirit, Ezili's (a goddess of love and seduction) emergence in three women throughout time.
		Hopkinson has penned a fantastical tale of empowerment and joyful sexuality, but accomplishes much more: the intoxicating prose entertains and informs, indicting the brutal institution of slavery.
		In reading this novel, I found that Hopkinson is a writer that uses stiff doses of human emotion and reality to balance out her themes of mythology, fantasy, and religion.

	Critical Praise: Nalo Hopkinson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Nalo Hopkinson's novel continues to collect high praises: "A splendid...debut, superbly plotted and redolent of the rhythms of Afro-Caribbean speech."
		Drawing on her personal knowledge of Afro-Caribbean spirituality, Nalo Hopkinson has created a future that is large enough to contain both zombies and organ transplants, a future in which the power of ancient ritual coexists with the medical innovations and urban destruction.
		This novel is a lyrical meditation on the lives of slaves and gods alike, a magical journey through a world unique to Hopkinson's broad vision: from Caribbean sugar cane plantations to 19th century France to ancient Egypt and Jerusalem, all visited with the grace of a butterfly.

		Nalo Hopkinson's debut 1998 novel, "Brown Girl in the Ring," won two major awards for new work in science fiction, the Locus Award and the John W. Campbell Award.
		The novel opens in that starkest emblem of change, a funeral — but it's a source of hilarity as a mourner tries, with failed subtlety, to shake off the too-loose panties that have fallen around her ankles.
		Hopkinson's fictional West Indian setting, the Cayaba archipelago, is home to two races, one unknown to outsiders and most locals (including Calamity).

		Nalo Hopkinson's Midnight Robber (2000), models technologies premised on the histories and beliefs of New World subjects either fetishized or voiceless in the majority of science fiction.
		Rather than imagining her highly advanced operating system to be run on written code, Hopkinson premises aurality as responsive to the technological development she predicts.
		This orally connected community and its intricate communication system compliments Hopkinson's language-broadening poetics: she "hacks" language using both Trinidadian and Jamaican modes of expression and delivery and, accordingly, her characters hack their own oral languages.

	Margin: Exploring Modern Magical Realism/NALO HOPKINSON: ALL FICTION IS FANTASY by Tamara Kaye Sellman/MARGIN
		NALO HOPKINSON doesn't have much patience for people who wish to slight writing that falls inside genre, that is, recognizable and popular categories of writing such as science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc.
		The snobbish derision which Hopkinson describes, of genres like fantasy and science fiction among some literary professionals, still happens in an industry which must rely upon these categories to market books and serve the interests of audiences.
		Hopkinson is the author of several books, including the Locus-award-winning Brown Girl in the Ring and the New York Times Notable Book for 2000, Midnight Robber, as well as the short story collections Skin Folk and Mojo: Conjure Stories.
