Leni Zumas

Leni Zumas is an American novelist, essayist, and professor. Her novel Red Clocks, narrated by Karissa Vacker and Erin Bennett in audiobook form, is a powerful work of speculative fiction set in a near-future America where abortion is illegal, in vitro fertilisation is banned, and the Personhood Amendment has been passed. The novel follows five women navigating reproduction, autonomy, and resistance in this dystopian landscape. Zumas's writing is lyrical, politically urgent, and deeply humane. Red Clocks was named one of the best books of the year by multiple publications. Available as an audiobook and in print, it is essential reading and listening for fans of feminist speculative fiction and dystopian literature.
