Octavia E. Butler's "must read" masterpiece #ParableOfTheSower (1993) begins its first chapter on July 20, 2024.

The cover of Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, with a blurb from John Green saying, "Brilliant, endlessly rich... pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid's Tale." The cover art shows a young black woman dressed in pink/orange. The background is white.

Shown is the opening page of Chapter 1 of Parable of the Sower. The poem reads:

All that you touch
You Change.

All that you Change
Changes you.

The only lasting truth
Is Change.

God
Is Change.
