[Tweet from @orbitbooks reads: Congratulations to all the winners at @TheHugoAwards  last night, and particularly to @nkjemisin for being the FIRST AUTHOR EVER to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel three years in succession - an incredible achievement for the truly ground-breaking Broken Earth series.]

Hugo awards: women clean up as NK Jemisin wins best novel again

“This has been a hard year … a hard few years, a hard century. For some of us, things have always been hard, and I wrote the Broken Earth trilogy to speak to that struggle, and what it takes to live, let alone thrive, in a world that seems determined to break you. A world of people who constantly question your competence, your relevance, your very existence. […]

As this genre finally, however grudgingly, acknowledges that the dreams of the marginalized matter, and that all of us have a future, so will the world.”
