The graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's groundbreaking
dystopian novel, Parable of the Sower, the follow-up to Kindred, a
#1 New York Times bestseller In this graphic-novel adaptation of
Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower by Damian Duffy and John
Jennings, the award-winning team behind Kindred: A Graphic Novel
Adaptation, the author portrays a searing vision of America's
future. In the year 2024, the country is marred by unattended
environmental and economic crises that lead to social chaos. Lauren
Olamina, a preacher's daughter living in Los Angeles, is protected
from danger by the walls of her gated community. However, in a
night of fire and death, what begins as a fight for survival soon
leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny .
. . and the birth of a new faith.
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller Winner of the 2018 Eisner
Award for Best Adaptation from Another Medium Octavia E. Butler's
bestselling literary science-fiction masterpiece, Kindred, now in
graphic novel format. More than 35 years after its release, Kindred
continues to draw in new readers with its deep exploration of the
violence and loss of humanity caused by slavery in the United
States, and its complex and lasting impact on the present day.
Adapted by celebrated academics and comics artists Damian Duffy and
John Jennings, this graphic novel powerfully renders Butler's
mysterious and moving story, which spans racial and gender divides
in the antebellum South through the 20th century. Butler's most
celebrated, critically acclaimed work tells the story of Dana, a
young black woman who is suddenly and inexplicably transported from
her home in 1970s California to the pre-Civil War South. As she
time-travels between worlds, one in which she is a free woman and
one where she is part of her own complicated familial history on a
southern plantation, she becomes frighteningly entangled in the
lives of Rufus, a conflicted white slaveholder and one of Dana's
own ancestors, and the many people who are enslaved by him. Held up
as an essential work in feminist, science-fiction, and fantasy
genres, and a cornerstone of the Afrofuturism movement, there are
over 500,000 copies of Kindred in print. The intersectionality of
race, history, and the treatment of women addressed within the
original work remain critical topics in contemporary dialogue, both
in the classroom and in the public sphere. Frightening, compelling,
and richly imagined, Kindred offers an unflinching look at our
complicated social history, transformed by the graphic novel format
into a visually stunning work for a new generation of readers.
