“I'm astonished and delighted that people like my little
stranger-in-a-strange-land parable,” said Jemisin. “Many thanks to
the Hugo voters, and to Amazon for making the story available at
low cost or free so that readers everywhere can enjoy it.”
“The Hugo Awards recognize the very best in the science fiction
genre, and we are so pleased to celebrate this recognition of N.K.
Jemisin’s boundary-pushing short story, Emergency Skin,” said
Mikyla Bruder, Publisher of Amazon Publishing. “Time and again, N.
K. Jemisin proves why she is one of today’s most important voices
in the genre, and we are thrilled that the Hugo Awards agree that
this story is no different.”
In Jemisin’s Emergency Skin, narrated by Star Trek: Discovery’s
Jason Isaacs, an explorer returns to gather information from a
climate-ravaged Earth that his ancestors, and others among the
planet’s finest, fled centuries ago. But the mission comes with a
warning: a graveyard world awaits him, along with those who were
left behind.
This is the fourth Hugo Award win for Jemisin, whose novels The
Fifth Season (2016), The Obelisk Gate (2017), and The Stone Sky
(2018), all published within The Broken Earth trilogy by Orbit, won
for Best Novel. Jemisin is the first Black writer to win in the
Best Novel category, and the first author ever to win for all three
books in a trilogy. The 2020 Hugo Award for Best Novelette nominees
also included Caroline M. Yoahchim’s The Archnology of Love; Sarah
Gailey’s Away With the Wolves; Sarah Pinsker’s The Blur in the
Corner of Your Eye; Siobhan Carroll’s For He Can Creep; and Ted
Chiang’s Omphalos.
