    Other Planes 05: Minister Faust: SF&F Author, Artist & MF Galaxy Broadcaster

    Minister Faust is an award-winning Kenyan-Canadian science fiction and fantasy author, artist and broadcaster. In this episode we discuss his long-awaited sequels to the Coyote Kings and War on Mir series, as well as independent publishing, tips on self-promotion for artists, the white canon of CanLit, and ancient Kemeti philosophy. For more on Minister Faust, and to subscribe to his upcoming Patreon for the serialised Coyote Kings sequel, check out: http://ministerfaust.com Here's a bit more on Minister Faust: The critically-acclaimed author of The Alchemists of Kush and the Kindred Award-winning and Philip K. Dick runner-up Shrinking the Heroes, Minister Faust first achieved literary accolades for his debut novel, The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad, which was shortlisted for the Locus Best First Novel, Philip K. Dick, and Compton-Crook awards. The New York Times Review of Books praised The Coyote Kings for its “jumpy, hold-nothing-back style,” saying that the author “anatomises [Edmonton] with the same loving care Joyce brought to early-20th-century Dublin…. fresh and stylish entertainment.” The National Post called it the “most exciting Canadian debut in decades,” and director Ernest Dickerson (Juice, The Walking Dead, The Wire) said, “Minister Faust is Samuel Delaney, Harlan Ellison and Ishmael Reed all rolled into one. His writing is biting, insightful and hugely entertaining.” Robert J. Sawyer says, “Minister Faust is a genius.” His podcast MF GALAXY [patreon.com/mfgalaxy] features artists in every field, especially writers, on their craft and their commerce. He will launch his Patreon-backed serialized novel sequel The Coyote Kings vs. The Myconauts of Plutonium City on November 12, 2018 [see ministerfaust.com for details].
