Happy Friday! We hope you are settling into our first Big Book on the Earthseed path, Parable of the Sower. Three years ago, Code Switch produced a feature on Octavia Butler for NPR's Morning Edition (https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/07/10/535879364/octavia-butler-writing-herself-into-the-story). The feature covers an exhibit of the Octavia Butler Archive at Huntington Library in California--much of the photographs you'll see of Butler's notes throughout our summer blog posts here are housed at the Huntington. If you have time this weekend, listen to the 7-minute story that aired on the radio. It includes clips of Butler herself talking about her young life and aspirations of becoming a writer. As we learn more about Butler's personal life, let's think about how her experiences impacted the Earthseed books we read this summer.
