Written after Cory Doctorow returned home after a visit to St. Petersburg, Russia where Cory’s grandmother was born. His grandmother lived through the horrific siege of Leningrad when she was a small child. After hearing all the stories from that event Cory wrote a sci-fi retelling of those events in After the Siege.
Introduction to After the Siege by Cory Doctorow:
“Listeners to my podcast heard me read this story, After the Siege, as it was written, shortly after returning home from a family trip to St Petersburg. My grandmother was born there, back when it was Leningrad, and she lived through the Siege of Leningrad as a little girl. She’d never talked to us about those years, but then, walking through Petersburg, she opened up and the stories came pouring out, stories that scared and appalled me. After the Siege is a science fictional re-telling of those stories, with much artistic license.”
