Slow to rise in the literary world, Octavia Estelle Butler
cultivated musings on earth's future, reaching massive critical
acclaim in the process. This companion will complement book club
discussions and classroom lessons for the closest possible readings
of Butler's science fiction and her texts on racism and pollution.
A maven of speculative fiction so prescient that it hovers between
tocsin and prophecy, Butler survives through her print stories,
essays, novels and musings on individualism and compromise. This
book guides the reader on a variety of Butler pieces, from her most
obscure titles to her historical entries and pieces that speculate
upon science, metaphysics, linguistics, psychology, writing and
religion. The text serves as a guide through the depths of Octavia
Butler's works and reinforces the reasons for which her name so
often appears on reading lists for higher learning.
