Multipurpose RoomCome join author Tochi Onyebuchi talk about his books and creative writing process.
Tochi Onyebuchi is the author of "Goliath," a primal biblical epic flung into the future. It weaves together disparate narratives—a space-dweller looking at New Haven, Connecticut as a chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover; a group of laborers attempting to renew the promises of Earth’s crumbling cities; a journalist attempting to capture the violence of the streets; a marshal trying to solve a kidnapping—into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, gentrification.
His short fiction has appeared in The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, The Year’s Best Science Fiction, and elsewhere. His non-fiction includes the book "(S)kinfolk" and has appeared in The New York Times, NPR, and the Harvard Journal of African American Public Policy, among other places.
Tochi has earned degrees from Yale University, New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Columbia Law School, and the Paris Institute of Political Studies.
