Octavia E. Butler Books
Octavia E. Butler was the Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of a wide range of near- and far-future science fiction novels. In 1995 she won the PEN Lifetime Achievement Award. Her books, including The Xenogenesis Trilogy and the Parable Series, explore everything from racial injustice to feminism to the impact of climate change. She died in 2006 at the age of 58. Since then, her works have only gained in popularity due in part to the increasing relevance of their subject matter.
