kestrellJoin the L.A. Times Book Club as we explore the legacy and
prolific writing of science fiction author Octavia E. Butler.

journalist Lynell George, author of
“A Handful of Earth, A Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia E. Butler,”
and Times reporter Julia Wick will discuss Butler’s work.
Born in Pasadena, Butler lived from 1947 to 2006 and was the first
science fiction writer to win a MacArthur “genius” grant. George
based her new book about the author on research at the
Huntington Library’s Butler archives.
This fall, 27 years after publication, Butler’s novel
Parable of the Sower landed on both the
Los Angeles Times and New York Times bestseller lists.
