And in those 6 pages, she packs in so much detail, character and world building that it is a little scary. Some of the stories in this collection are no more than 6 pages long. That story is about a restaurant that can recreate any meal, something from history, or even from your own history. The next story he read by her Cuisine des Mémoires WAS part of the collection, which then had me jump to get this one from the library. That story wasn’t even part of her short story collection because according to her, “it wasn’t her best” which is amazing cuz it was very very good. He first read “Playing Nice with God’s Bowling Ball” for a live event and interviewed Jemisin after. And now, I have to take it a step further because he introduced me to the amazing creativity of N.K. As the originator of Reading Rainbow, Geordi LaForge on Star Trek TNG and the creator of one of my favorite podcasts, LeVar Burton Reads, I have spent a not insignificant amount of time with him, and for that I’m grateful to him.
