Ep 10 - Talking Being an Author with Tendai Huchu

Today we talk to science fiction author Tendai Huchu. He is a Zimbabwean author who lives and writes in Scotland.

His first book, The Hairdresser of Harare, has been translated into multiple languages. His short stories have appeared in Lightspeed, AfroSF, Interzone, The Apex Book of World SF 5, and more. His most recent book is called The Library of the Dead, and the next book in that series is due out next year.

The episode starts out a normal conversation and slowly becomes a deep, deep dive into the nitty gritty of falling in love with reading, learning to write, the process of writing – in a way that I really have never heard in other interviews. It’s not about technique but about what authors are and what they go through.
