Introduction
by SFWA Grand Master Nalo Hopkinson
In
this graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the
Sower by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the award-winning team
behind Kindred:
A Graphic Novel Adaptation,
the author portrays a searing vision of America's future.
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. However, 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.
"Alarmingly
prescient and relevant. . . . This accessible adaptation is poised to
introduce Butler's dystopian tale to a new generation of readers."
--Publishers Weekly
"The
graphic novel is faithful to Butler, yet still fresh in its world
building." --USA Today
