The Parable of the Sower

TitleThe Parable of the Sower
AuthorOctavia Butler
Call NumberPS3552 .U827 P37 1993
Location2nd Floor Humanities
RatingHighly Recommended
Book ReviewWritten in 1993, Butler shows a prescience for a world unraveling due to climate change, political turmoil, and police corruption. Born into this world, Lauren Olamina is an empath who reveals the birth of a new religion, Earthseed. From violence to the promise of a new life, this novel leaves you wanting more. I see more Octavia Butler in my future.
