I'm seeing little activity within the Somali community in regards to her works, what a shame. We certainly need more Somali authors who write in English and most importantly in their native language. I would also like to see Somalis translating great literature works from the likes of Tolstoy, Hemmingway, dostoevsky, and historical pieces from Plato, livy, Herodotus, Ibn Khaldun, etc... am I asking too much?

Amazon.



Another book of her's will be out too.

"The first collection of short fiction from a rising star whose stories have been anthologized in the first two volumes of the Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy series and nominated for many awards. Some of Samatar’s weird and tender fabulations spring from her life and her literary studies; some spring from the world, some from the void."
