[42] Sarah Blake, author of Naamah

“I wanted to see how Naamah would approach feeling like a woman and how she would think about gender and sexuality.” – Sarah Blake

Sarah Blake is the author of Naamah, a retelling of the story of Noah’s ark from the perspective of his wife. She’s also published two books of poetry, Let’s Not Live on Earth, which features the feminist sci-fi epic “The Starship,” and Mr. West, which is an unauthorized lyric biography of Kanye West.

Renee Powers founded Feminist Book Club in 2018 to provide a space for intersectional feminists to learn, grow, and connect. When not reading or running the biz, you can find her drinking coffee and trying unsuccessfully to teach her retired racing greyhound how to fetch. Favorite genres: feminist thrillers, contemporary literary fiction, short stories, and anything that might be described as "irreverent"
