As “@OctaviaEButler’s work experiences a resurgence in popularity, @lynellgeorge collects the ephemera of Butler’s life, piecing it together visually on the page to study and reveal the process by which Butler fashioned herself and her fiction.”

These books are powerful companions to @OctaviaEButler's own work.
