This week I finally tackle Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower—one of the most recommended books I've ever received, and one that completely challenged me.
We talk about why Butler's writing feels so relentlessly human, why Lauren Olamina stands among the strongest protagonists I've read, and whether the novel's extreme violence serves a greater purpose or goes too far.
More importantly, we explore why this story is far more than another dystopian novel. It's a meditation on survival, change, hope, and what remains of our humanity when everything else is stripped away.
One of the hardest books I've reviewed.
One of the most rewarding conversations I've had.
