PFDW#34: Interview With P.Djeli Clark author of Ring Shout

In this episode of Postcards, I have a chat with author P.Djeli
Clark the author of one of my favorite books of last year Ring
Shout.  Phenderson Djéli Clark is the award-winning and
Hugo, Nebula, Sturgeon,  and World Fantasy nominated author
of the novellas Ring Shout, The Black  God’s Drums, and The
Haunting of Tram Car 015. Born in New York and raised mostly in
Houston, Texas, he spent the early formative years of  his
life in the homeland of his parents, Trinidad and Tobago.  


Ring Shout is an amazing piece of work from a singular voice. No
one else on this planet could write this story and those are the
best stories always. Ring Shout is a dark fantasy that is not
only in conversation with history but confronting it.  This
novel is a cutting piece of commentary that comes out a century
after its events and sadly doesn’t feel distant.   This
conversation is about Clark as a writer, and a historian but any
discussion of a novel like Ring Shout will be deep. The history
of the  Klan, the movements against them but both historical
and fictional.  Balance of history, mythology, and much
more.
