  Article: Interview: Nina Kiriki Hoffman, by Karen Meisner
I first became interested in Nina when I read her novels; they sparked in me that rare thrill of enchantment I used to get from fantasy as a kid, while they also spoke to adult problems and longings.
Nina conveys an attitude of calm, friendly, genuine openness -- to ideas, to people, to whatever weirdness might come her way.
NKH: When it's time to send a story out, it's good if I have some idea of which magazine to send it to, which means I need to determine its genre at that point.

Susan, freed from having to go home so that she can begin research on a science fair project, overhears three friends discussing a haunted house.
In genre fiction, families are often either terrorized victims of chainsaw wielding maniacs, or nostalgic bubbly after-school-special caricatures wrapped in kid-safe behaviors and words.
Packed with curious variations on the old "what would you do with magic powers" theme, the tale is a whimsical romp through adolescence to adulthood that mostly succeeds in drawing the reader along to the wistful end.

 Nina Kiriki Hoffman, A Fistful of Sky
As with the magickal folk in works such as The Thread That Binds the Bones, The Silent Strength of Stones, and A Red Heart of Memories, it is clear that power is neither fl nor white, simply a tool that becomes good or evil according to the whims of the wielder.
Hoffman skillfully illustrates this point without ever becoming didactic or moralistic.
Also characteristic of Hoffman, and a longstanding if minor quibble I have with her work, is her tendency to spring climaxes, solutions, denouements like sudden traps.

 A Red Heart of Memories by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, fantasy book
Hoffman, whom I will forever remember first and foremost as the author of the hilarious short story “Savage Breasts,” peoples A Red Heart of Memories with very peculiar people, whose peculiarities quickly begin to seem normal as we get to know them.
Hoffman sets herself a real challenge to try to get the reader to buy into this, and it is much to her credit that she is at least partially successful.

 Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Catalyst   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Catalyst is a sensual story of tactile discovery, adolescent exploration, and alien communication, as told by Nina Kiriki Hoffman, who excels at merging the fantastic and the mundane.
It's a dramatic change from Hoffman's usual urban fantasy fare, and a quantum leap forward (and sideways) in terms of tone, style, and language.
It certainly deserves some attention, and Hoffman's to be saluted for venturing into such strange territory.

This may be the best fantasy I have read this year and ranks up with my favorite of her's, THE THREAD THAT BINDS THE BONES.
