I've never been a big reader but your videos make me want to give it more of a try. The way you describe the books and the genuine love you show for them is amazing!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Zomb! It means a lot to hear that my videos are sparking an interest in reading for you. Octavia Butler's work is truly special, and I'm glad I could share it with you. If you do decide to dive into the Earthseed Saga or any other books, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Happy reading!
I love her, too! These editions come as a boxset through Seven Stories Press. They're not even very expensive (~$40 for the set)! Thanks for watching and for the thoughtful comment!
I am about to try and learn more about the third book notes! I am so curious about the themes related to estrangement and purpose. I believe the parable of the talents is intended to reference Lauren as a servant who returns the investment while Mark hides the talent/wealth (Asha) and does nothing with it. I’m unsure if I’m wrong about that! But because that’s my interpretation of the meaning of the title it makes the estrangement aspect feel really nuanced still but leaning more towards favoring Lauren’s choice to invest in earth seed. I also wonder how Butler intended to reflect on the manifest destiny style goal of earth seed upon the movement seeing success.
(I’m sorry if I spelled names wrong I read those books via audiobook) Also! You might like an article that just came out yesterday! Rolling stone: OCTAVIA BUTLER WANTED TO PREVENT DISASTER IN LOS ANGELES. INSTEAD, SHE PREDICTED IT
