ABOUT OCTAVIA'S WORK
Octavia Butler, a writer of science fiction, brought elements of African and African-American spiritualism, mysticism, and mythology to her novels and stories.
Her novel, Kindred (1979), introduced the science fiction community to slavery in the United States through a narrative involving time travel, while Parable of the Sower (1993) raised questions about the environment, technology, theology, and metaphysics. Butler's Patternists series includes five novels published between 1976 and 1984, and investigates issues of gender and class identity within a society managed by an elite group of telepaths. Her Xenogenesis trilogy, including Dawn (1987), Adulthood Rites (1988), and Imago (1989), depicts the near destruction of the human world due to prejudice, class conflict, and violence. Her imaginative stories are transcendent fables, which have as much to do with the future as with the present and the past.
BIOGRAPHY
Butler was an independent writer and lived in Seattle, Washington. Among her other works are the novella Bloodchild (1995, 2d ed. 2005), Parable of the Talents (1998), Lilith's Brood (2000), and Fledgling (2005).
Butler received an A.A. (1968) from Pasadena City College and attended California State University, Los Angeles, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
她的小说Kindred（1979年）通过涉及时间旅行的叙述向科幻界介绍了美国的奴隶制，而Parable of the Sower（1993年）则提出了关于环境、技术、神学和玄学的问题。 巴特勒的Patternists系列包括在1976年至1984年期间出版的五部小说，调查了一个由精英电传人群体管理的社会中的性别和阶级身份问题。 她的《异源》三部曲，包括《黎明》（1987年）、《成年仪式》（1988年）和《Imago》（1989年），描述了人类世界由于偏见、阶级冲突和暴力而几乎毁灭的情况。 她富有想象力的故事是超凡脱俗的寓言，它既与未来有关，也与现在和过去有关。
