“Carefully, stealthily, Caleb added this photograph to the portraits of Russell and Julia. Then, calm as anything, he slipped them into his backpack, tucking them in the front cover of John Halifax, Gentleman, so they wouldn’t get crumpled. Russell needed them more than the archive, anyway.”
Aster Glenn Gray, The Sleeping Soldier

Kim Stanley Robinson
“I consider my novels, amongst many other things, to be my political activism. I’m interested in portraying futures where there are more cooperative, altruistic, post-capitalist systems that are working well.”
Kim Stanley Robinson

“There are thousands of five-letter words in the English dictionary, but it only takes one to win Wordle.”
Alexis Benveniste and Jackie Frere

Ray Nayler
“The great and terrible thing about humankind is simply this: we will always do what we are capable of.”
Ray Nayler, The Mountain in the Sea

Damon Galgut
“I'd like to accept this on behalf of all the stories told and untold, the writers heard and unheard, from the remarkable continent I'm part of. Please keep listening to us, there's a lot more to come.”
Damon Galgut
