New episode just released! In this episode we revisit the work of #octaviabutler . Including #parableofthesower #parableofthetalents and #kindred . Butler had a keen sense of the past and the future that is steered by threads of oppression and our human ability to resist, adapt, and change. Her work is prescient and always relevant. We revisit some of the conversations we had the first time around while looking at other ways of understanding Butlers work. Her books have meant a lot to us and we think are important as we think toward liberating futures. You can find the link in our bio, at liberatinglibraries.org, or whatever platform you get your podcasts at. Also feel free to drop us a line on what you thought of it or leave us a review on iTunes. #books #bookstagram #literature #fiction #podcast #slavery #climatechange #racism #reading #library #liberation
Climate change is forcing us to look the implausible in the face and do something. If fiction that is a little more implausible, a little more irrational, can help us imagine our way forward then I think Ghosh has served us well.
