![]() ![]() Four or five years ago (aka around the time I started writing Servant of the Underworld, the first Obsidian and Blood), it wouldn’t have been a problem. I was going to produce a post on the advantages and drawbacks of writing books set in non-Western cultures. So, I had a plan when I started writing this. The guest post was originally published on The Founding Fields, here. I contacted her after finishing Obsidian and Blood about doing a post on her experiences writing non-anglophone cultures and this what she had to say. It took me a long time to get around to reading her work but I can definitely say I’m the better for it. ![]() My run-in with her earlier this year was quite accidental: I saw the cover art for her upcoming (at the time of course, but now released just yesterday!) omnibus edition of her popular Aztec Mysteries novels. ![]() She has been nominated for quite a few awards in her career and has also won a few of them. Aliette de Bodard is a prolific writer of science fiction and fantasy, specialising (I’d say so) in writing about non-western cultures. ![]()
