But we go on writing in the forms we are used to. There are perorations against nuclear weapons: ""The thing the anonymous nuclear planning staffs have in mind is unsayable the language which would reach them seems not to exist. This section, though intelligent, draws the Cassandra/modern woman (writer?) parallel almost suffocatingly close. ![]() ![]() Wolf's fictional Cassandra, emotionally if obliquely portrayed, is quite compelling-but the non-fiction essays that follow are very diluting. in the novella that begins the book, Cassandra-the classical seeress who, rebuffing Apollo's advances in her dreams, is fated to have the gift of prophecy but never to be believed-is at once ""the first professional woman"" (taking on priestly duties new to women), a crusader for peace (opposing her father Priam's Trojan war against the Greeks), and the lover of Aeneas yet she is also a cynically traded-for ""object,"" a woman driven ""mad"" by patriarchal folly.

Okorafor has written several issues for the Marvel comic Black Panther, including a spinoff series that focuses on Shuri, the Black Panther’s little sister. READ REVIEW 2 ROSEWATER From the The Wormwood Trilogy series, Vol. Other novels that fit Okorafor’s definition of Africanfuturism (though most are still considered Afrofuturist) include Tade Thompson’s Rosewater and Nigerians in Space by Deji Olukotun. Thompson ( Making Wolf) cleverly lays out a compellingly strange yet accessible setting, with an underlying mystery to drive the fast-paced narrative. ROSEWATER Kirkus Reviews A captivating, cerebral work of science fiction that may very well signal a new definitive voice in the genre. As Kaaro’s past, including his previous experiences with the biodome, unspools in this nonlinear adventure, he learns the disturbing secret of the aliens who have settled on Earth.
