WISE-Lit NYC Book Club: Parable of the Sower
Join us to discuss Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower.
Renowned writer Octavia E. Butler wrote one of the great (foundational, even) works of speculative fiction, first published in 1993. Parable of the Sower opens in 2024 in a post-apocalyptic world heavily affected by climate change and social inequality. The novel was the winner of multiple awards, including the 1994 New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and has been adapted into an opera and a graphic novel. Parable of the Sower has since influenced many essays on social justice and climate change. In 2021, it was picked by readers of The New York Times as the top science fiction nomination for the best book of the last 125 years.
