In our Close Reads series, join an enlivening discussion as an author leads you through their insightful analysis of a classic text or genre that’s inspired them. Here, Irenosen Okojie (author of Curandera) talks about Octavia E Butler’s Parable of the Sower: a far-sighted post-apocalyptic novel, first published in 1993, imagining supernatural levels of empathy as the antidote to climate change, wealth inequality, and corporate greed.
