The Amelia Bloomer Project Recognizes 2 Tor Authors (and I'm one of them)

From Tor's Blog today:

For The Win by Cory Doctorow and Libyrinth by Pearl North have been included in the list of Recommended Titles for 2011 by The Amelia Bloomer Project.

“As we honor strong, powerful girls and the books that inspire them, the Amelia Bloomer Project celebrates 2010, a year that has sounded a call to action for multiple generations of feminists to work together and reflected diversity of culture and format.”
-from The Amelia Bloomer Project

The Amelia Bloomer Project is part of the Feminist Task Force of the American Library Association’s Social Responsibility Round Table.  To find out more about this organization, visit their blog and check out the other great books being recommended for your 2011 reading.

About the Author:

  • I write science fiction novels for young people and others who still dream. Feel free to contact me at pearlnorth@gmail.com, I'd love to hear from you.

On Libyrinth:

  • "With Libyrinth, I started out writing a book about censorship, and wound up writing a book about peace. During the time that I wrote it, two things happened which shaped the course of the story. One is that our country invaded Iraq, and the other is that I became a Buddhist. The central character, Haly, starts out in a place where she believes she knows who is good and who is bad. Over the course of the story, she learns to abandon those assumptions. The interconnections between censorship, violence and the power of imagination run throughout Libyrinth. The ability of words to make one person's experience immediate and real to someone else is a powerful tool for survival in a world where ultimately, we must depend upon each other." ---- Pearl North
