You're invited to a PARABLE OF THE SOWER book club via chat in September! Find details inside.
Hello Readers,
I’m dropping a quick note to let you know that we’re hosting a book club conversation on September 28th at 3pm (Eastern)! The book we’re reading is Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I chose this as our read not only because this year marks the novel’s 30th anniversary, but because the themes explored in this science fiction classic feel ever more prescient and timely today.
Parable of the Sower begins in the year 2024 and gives us a troubling view of our world ravaged by climate change, division, an economic crises. It follows hyperempath Lauren Olamina who’s determined to show her community that they need to make some big changes—and they need to make them fast if they’re to survive. Lauren’s vision begins to extend beyond her small, walled-in community as she realizes a new religion founded on change—one she hopes will save humanity.
