The Godspore King – Gabriel Moseley
Gabriel Moseley’s project for the 2024 Jack Straw Writers Program is a speculative fiction novel set at a fundamentalist Christian camp in the Olympic Peninsula, where the revelation of a child’s healing abilities leads to devastating consequences. In his conversation with curator Nisi Shawl, they explore how the genre of science fiction allows him to tackle larger issues, some of his science-fiction influences, and how elements of his upbringing show up in his writing. “I think there’s something fascinating about this set up. You know, these kind of constrained environments and all the dynamics that go into it.”
