 We at Shorts have been friends and fans of Jemison's brave and compelling work for quite a while, and we're eager to have her share her own tastes in a genre she has helped to redefine. She helped us select all three of the stories on this program. They were part of a live evening at Symphony Space that she hosted. Here is N.K. Jemison speaking from the stage at our home at Symphony Space about the power of writing. We're having this evening at a moment when it feels like the world is ending.
