Parable of the Sower was my first Butler. I read it in 2017, and it terrified me. It was as profound a reading experience as I have ever had, right up there with reading The Road as I took care of my newborn boy.
That experience solidified for me a belief that people of color, perhaps especially women of color, have a perspective on America that I will never have direct access to, but that I have been desperately in want of for too much of my life.
Oh boy. I feel so glad to have been given my reading list for the semester. I've only read Left Hand of Darkness. And then, only Kindred by Octavia Butler. I'm in! All that's left is for you to post a link so I can join into this class virtually. ;)
Grace, the final frontier...

Good luck on another term!
Wonderful. Glad to know all this goodness is afoot.
