S5Ep43: A Gentle Tyranny
Mike and Sarah catch up with author Jess Corban this week to talk about her debut novel, A Gentle Tyranny.
What if women unraveled the evils of patriarchy?
With men safely “gentled” in a worldwide Liberation, the matriarchy of Nedé has risen from the ashes. Seventeen-year-old Reina Pierce has never given a thought to the Brutes of old. Itching to escape her mother's finca–and desperate to keep her training and forbidden friendship a secret–her greatest worry is which Destiny she'll choose on her next birthday. But when she's selected as a candidate for the Succession instead, competing to become Nedé's ninth Matriarch, she discovers their Eden has come at a cost she's not sure she's willing to pay.
Jess Corban's debut novel presents a new twist to the dystopian genre, delivering heart-pounding action, thought-provoking revelations, and a setting as lush as the jungles of Central America.
Jess Corban graduated from college with a degree in communications and, perhaps more instructive, thirteen stamps in her passport. After college, a chance interview at a small publisher for an even smaller position sparked a love for writing that turned into twelve nonfiction books (under various pseudonyms). Her debut novel, A Gentle Tyranny, was nominated for a Christy Award. She continues to write across genres from her home on the central coast of California. Connect with Jess at JessCorban.com.
