Hello Everyone!
Thank you for tuning in to Episode 6 of Season 2 of Semiscribbled Podcast.
In this episode, I talk about Parable of the Sower by Octavia E Butler.
I am enjoying my deep dive into the SciFi/fantasy genre and Octavia Butler does not disappoint as the next pitstop in this journey. This book is a gem and quite relevant for what we are facing today even though it was published 28 years ago! Octavia takes us through thoughts on climate change, economic collapse, and seeking new habitable environments. Let's get into it!
There are two clips included in this review in my Something To Note section which is a commentary on news in the book world. The first clip was obtained from Global News "Tanzanian novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah wins Nobel Prize in Literature" which is available here. You can also read the tweet from Carey Baraka on Abdulrazak's writing on food. The Second clip was obtained from Netflix @Netflix Book Club with Uzo Aduba | Official Announcement Trailer" available here. More on Okwiri Oduor's forthcoming novel is also here. Finally, the long essay on Dambudzo Marechera is a must-read, enjoy!
Please follow me on Twitter and Instagram (both @podcast_semi) I'd love to engage with you.
