FFRPL presents "Books Sandwiched In" - Edward Ashton reviews "Death of the Author" In-Person
Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor
In this unique book-within-a-book, Zelu – a disabled Nigerian American woman – writes a wildly successful Sci-Fi novel set in Chicago, Lagos, and space, where androids and AI wage war in the aftermath of human civilization. Unlike anything you’ve read before, Death of the Author is a surprisingly cutting, heartfelt drama about art, love, identity, connection, and humanity.
Presenter: Edward Ashton is the author of seven novels, including MICKEY7 (the basis for Bong Joon-ho's "Mickey 17") and AFTER THE FALL, forthcoming from St. Martin's Press (February 2026).
