Octavia E. Butler: Parable of the Sower: A Novel (Hardcover, Seven Stories Press)

The time is 2025. The place is California, where small walled communities must protect themselves …

God is Change, and in the end, God prevails. But there’s hope in understanding the nature of God—not punishing or jealous, but infinitely malleable. There’s comfort in realizing that everyone and everything yields to God. There’s power in knowing that God can be focused, diverted, shaped by anyone at all. But there’s no power in having strength and brains, and yet waiting for God to fix things for you or take revenge for you. You know that.
