Octavia Butler - A Black Science Fiction Writer

By the early 1990s, Octavia Butler had cemented a place for herself in the white straight dude dominated genre. While she was dodging these titles, black, feminist, and queer audiences were embracing her edgy explorations of race, sex, and gender. She was complicating traditional power structures and centering marginalized voices. The only lasting truth is change. God is change. Her seed, the book of the living, verse one, parable of the sower. And then her newest book brought her a whole new reputation on a whole nother level. All that you touch, you change. all that you change changes you.
