Summary

When Time Magazine published the article It's Not Just Black Panther: Afrofuturism Is Having a Moment, they made sure to interview Sheree Renée Thomas. Already her impact as a member of the literary community has been undeniable and empowering. Thomas’ stories have received Notable Mention in the Year’s Best American Science Fiction & Fantasy and Honorable Mention in several volumes of the Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror, not to mention her editorial work has uncovered a legacy of over a century of black science fiction writing and helped launch the careers of some of the most exciting new voices in the field. For instance, Thomas edited the two Dark Matter (Hachette) black speculative fiction volumes that first introduced W. E. B. Du Bois’s work as science fiction, winning two World Fantasy Awards (2001, 2005). Despite these accomplishments, one must be reminded that Thomas is herself a new voice. Nine Bar Blues from Third Man Books is the debut fiction collection by Sheree Renée Thomas. The stories encompass the heart, spirit, and music of the Mississippi Delta and of Memphis, Tennessee, where she was born and currently lives. It is a much anticipated debut from a writer who has already left her fingerprint on the world of literature.
