This book is on the slender side, but it's still a comprehensive analysis of the life and work of one of our greatest writers. Octavia Butler died in 2006, and it's heartbreaking to think of what we might have had over the past twenty years. #bookstodon #books #reviews #sciencefiction #biography

Twice she has won the Governor General’s Award and the Booker Prize, as well as nearly every other literary award you can think of, including the Arthur C. Clarke and the Franz Kafka.
