The Ivy Bookshop in Baltimore hosts Arkady Martine and Vivian Shaw to launch A Memory Called Empire and talk about creative partnerships.

A fascinating space opera debut novel, Martine's A Memory Called Empire is an interstellar mystery adventure.

Arkady Martine is a speculative fiction writer and, as Dr. AnnaLinden Weller, a historian of the Byzantine Empire and a city planner. Under both names she writes about border politics, rhetoric, propaganda, and the edges of the world. Arkady grew up in New York City and, after some time in Turkey, Canada, and Sweden, lives in Baltimore with her wife, Vivian Shaw.
