The acclaimed graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's groundbreaking dystopian novel, Parable of the Sower, is a don't-miss classic that resonates today more than ever.As The Washington Post noted: "A 1993 dystopian novel imagined the world in 2024. It's eerily accurate." This Hugo Award Winner for Best Graphic Story or Comic is the follow-up to Kindred, a #1 New York Times bestseller. 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 Includes an introduction by SFWA Grand Master Nalo Hopkinson
