About this book

<p><b>The acclaimed graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's groundbreaking dystopian novel, <i>Parable of the Sower, </i>is a don't-miss classic that resonates today more than ever. As <i>The Washington Post </i>noted: "</b><b>A 1993 dystopian novel imagined the world in 2024. It's eerily accurate."</b> <p><b>This Hugo Award Winner for Best Graphic Story or Comic is the follow-up to <i>Kindred</i>, a #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller. </b> <p> In this graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's <i>Parable of the Sower </i>by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the award-winning team behind <i>Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation</i>, the author portrays a searing vision of America's future. <p> In the year 2024, the country is marred by unattended environmental and economic crises that lead to social chaos. Lauren Olamina, a preacher's daughter living in Los Angeles, is protected from danger by the walls of her gated community. <p> In a night of fire and death, what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny . . . and the birth of a new faith. <p><b>"Alarmingly prescient and relevant. This accessible adaptation is poised to introduce Butler's dystopian tale to a new generation of readers." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p><b>"The graphic novel is faithful to Butler, yet still fresh in its world building." --<i>USA Today</i> <p> Includes an introduction by SFWA Grand Master Nalo Hopkinson</b></p>
