Potential articles for Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction: (see page here for more detailed assessment) Non Zero Probabilities by N.K. Jemisin, Valedictorian by N.K. Jemisin, The End (Supernatural episode)

I'm open to other ideas, but I've had trouble trying to find other options for this project.

Model Page
Model page for short story form: The Color Out of Space (H.P. Lovecraft). Approximate genre match, with some awards recognition

See also: How Long 'til Black Future Month (N.K. Jemisin) - short story collection containing Non-Zero Probabilities

Sources for Article
First five quality (?) sources:


 * Awards confirmation sources: Nebula nomination (2009) and Hugo nomination (2010)
 * Inscriptions article "Drift and Desire" on non-zero probabilities, academia, and modern capitalism (?) - close reading
 * a thesis paper (not ideal, I know, but I'm having trouble finding sources) on fairytale - a few paragraphs are dedicated to Jemisin and the city setting, esp. with this story
 * review from Strange Horizons (plus follow-up by same author) - same source question mark, but the magazine and author have both won awards, so I'm inclined to think they're reasonably credible. Discusses formal and thematic decisions
 * If I can use interviews with the author as a source: SFWA posted an interview with NK Jemisin in 2009 during her nomination for this short story, which provides context for writing the story***

*** primary source, so probably not?

Potentially supplement with sources from How Long 'til Black Future Month page (for information about its status in the collection and awards)

* Publishers Weekly has some kind of award for it as well? See list of what looks like places it's been published
