Oh wow! This one was even better than The Evening and The Morning and The Night! Octavia E. Butler is masterful with her short stories! I loved this one and can’t wait to write my paper on it! It is mind blowing to me how Butler can give such a beautiful character arc and such an intricate plot within only 20 pages!
I’ve bought Parable of the Sower, one of her longer books, and I can’t wait to read it!
