Düss-Ruhr Book Club: Parable of the Sower by Octavia E Butler
This month, we will be reading "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia E Butler.
In Butler's book, “Parable of the Sower,” Octavia Butler tells the story (which takes place in the now-uncomfortably-close 2024) through a string of diary entries written by a Black teenager named Lauren Olamina. She resides with her family in the fictional city of Robledo, 20 miles from the center of Los Angeles. LA Times comments that "A writer like Butler becomes iconic not only by reflecting our world and interrogating it but also by articulating our most profound truths. As I see it, Butler’s gift is naming vulnerability, exploring its burden and value."
All readers are welcome. RSVP here to receive the meeting information!
