Becky Chambers

Forfatterbiografi

Becky Chambers (født 3. maj 1985) er en amerikansk science fiction-forfatter, der især forbindes med en varmt, karakterdrevet fortællestil og en humanistisk tilgang til fremmede verdener. Hendes prosa bevæger sig ofte i grænselandet mellem klassisk sci-fi og nutidige strømninger som solarpunk, hvor håb, fællesskab og langsom forandring står centralt. Chambers har skrevet serier og enkeltfortællinger, hvor både mennesker og ikke-mennesker får plads til nuancerede indre liv. Hun er navnlig kendt for Wayfarers-serien, herunder The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet og The Galaxy, and the Ground Within, samt for de senere fortællinger i Monk-and-Robot-universet som A Psalm for the Wild-Built. Hendes betydning for litteraturen ses i, at hun har været med til at skubbe genren i retning af mere følelsesmæssig nærhed og etisk eftertanke, uden at miste sci-fi’ens sans for idéer og verdensopbygning. Flere af hendes værker har modtaget store genrelitterære anerkendelser. For A Psalm for the Wild-Built modtog hun blandt andet en Hugo Award for Best Novella, og The Galaxy, and the Ground Within har været nomineret til Hugo i Best Series-kategorien. Chambers’ succes viser, hvordan science fiction kan rumme både intimitet og skala – og stadig finde et bredt publikum.
