I’ve never read Octavia Butler, but the first paragraph has me convinced. I’ll be ordering a few books tonight.
- jf 6y agoHer books are well worth reading. Prepare to be delighted, intrigued, and disturbed in equal parts.
- sbelskie 6y agoThat’s the trifecta right there. Even more excited now.
- ruined 6y agoParable of the Sower is a nice quick novel, a great place to start, and feels very relevant these days. Lilith's Brood is a lot wilder, a very unique experience.
- abraxas 6y agoYou’re in for a treat. I personally love Dawn more than any other but you can’t go wrong with her other classics.
- AndrewLiptak 6y agoI recently read Parable of the Sower for the first time (wrote about it here: https://andrewliptak.substack.com/p/three-novels-about-unbalanced-worlds https://andrewliptak.substack.com/p/three-novels-about-unbal...) and really was blown away by it.
- dredmorbius 6y agoShe was recently mentioned briefly but strongly positively in the Santa Fe Institute's "Complexity" podcast. This article greatly increases my own interest.
