Rivers Solomon

Rivers Solomon is an American author of speculative fiction whose work centres marginalised voices and explores themes of race, gender, queerness, and collective memory. Their novels, including An Unkindness of Ghosts and Sorrowland, have been praised for their bold imagination and unflinching social commentary. The Deep, based on the mythology created by the hip-hop group clipping., imagines the descendants of enslaved Africans thrown overboard during the Middle Passage, who have evolved to survive underwater. Solomon's audiobooks and books are essential for readers and listeners who appreciate speculative fiction that is politically charged, deeply imaginative, and emotionally powerful.
