I too hadn’t read any of her stuff but I had not heard of her until just a few years ago. After reading the parables and kindred I am a bit dumbfounded I hadn’t heard of her before. Her genre is the stuff I have thrived on since I was a teen. I’m honestly a little pissed (maybe partly at myself) since the reason probably has a lot to do with her skin color and gender. Anyway I’d highly recommend the parables as a starting point. They seem especially prescient today and were a great read.
