"Nalo Hopkinson has been building immersive worlds for decadesThere are so many characters, cultures, languages, and plot points in this novel, and Hopkinson weaves them together masterfully. * Booklist, starred review * Much like the Blackheart Man of legend, readers will be swallowed whole by this novel and reemerge completely changed. * Library Journal * Hopkinson fills Chynchin to the brim with immersive details, from the oral tradition of the chantwells, to the tensions between different social groups, to the distinctive and engaging voices of her characters. * Kirkus * Blackheart Man is here, Im happy to report that its been worth the wait. Its Hopkinsons most narratively complex novel since The Salt Roads, her boldest re-imagining of Caribbean culture since The New Moons Arms, and her most linguistically inventive work to date." * Locus Magazine * Recipient of the 2021 Damon Knight Grand Memorial Award
