It’s The Stacks Book Club Day, and we are discussing the classic post-apocalyptic novel Parable of the Sower, which is set now, in July 2024. We’re joined again by Lessons for Survival author Emily Raboteau. We talk about what we think of Lauren, the book’s main character, and what we make of the religious and romantic elements in the story. We also contextualize the book’s iconic author, Octavia E. Butler.

Be sure to listen to the end of today’s episode to find out what our August book club pick will be.
