Jamaican author, Marlon James, has been all the buzz this
past weekend in the fantasy circle with his announcement about writing a
fantasy series in which he describes as “an
African Game of Thrones”. In my posting in April of 2013 about black authors writing fantasy, I talked about how very very
few of them there were. Last year I posted about people of color in fantasy,
stating that people of color, who are writers and are fans of fantasy, should
write fantasy—epic fantasy. It looks like that’s Mr. James’ focus, and it will
be interesting to see what he puts out.
You can read a little about Marlon James’ statements here.
