Stephen Govenndi Markley (born October 2, 1983 in Mount Vernon, Ohio[1]) is an American journalist and author, whose work includes memoirs and novels.[2] His first novel Ohio takes place during a single evening.[3] His second novel The Deluge is a dystopian epic about climate change spanning the years 2013 through to the 2030s.[3][4] The New York Times review said of it that the "dystopia is realistic and nuanced, grim but playful, setting Markley’s book apart from the tsunami of recent climate-change literature."[5] The New York Times named The Deluge one of the 100 Notable Books of 2023.[6]
