A Song for a New Day, Sarah Pinsker's Speculative Fiction Novel

Emily Osborne

Sarah Pinkser is a writer and musician based out of Baltimore, Maryland. She’s the recipient of the 2016 Nebula Award, recognizing the best works of science fiction or fantasy published in the United States. She’s had stories in many magazines and anthologies, a book of stories published earlier this year, but we’ll be talking to her about debut novel: A Song for a New Day. In a not-too distant time, where public gatherings are illegal, making concerts impossible, two women are willing to break the law for their love of music and for one chance at human connection. Is this a cautionary tale? Is this a path our society is heading down? Sarah Pinkser tells us more about this thoughtful and compelling story. [September 2019]
