Parable of the Sower, by Octavia E. Butler, has thrilled science fiction readers since its release in 1994. The novel was awarded the New York Times Notable Book of the Year when it debuted. Since then, Butler’s Parable series (which remains unfinished after 1998's sequel Parable of the Talents) has continued to shape the minds of readers who enjoy post-apocalyptic science fiction focusing on themes of climate change and social inequality.

Join us in the Elm and Maple Rooms for a very special program. Our presenter, Dr. Anne Edwards, is a serious lover of science fiction as well as the Director of the Black Cultural Center at Purdue University. You won’t want to miss this exciting book discussion at the West Lafayette Public Library on Thursday, Sept 18th.
