Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
2021 Hugo Award Winner for Best Graphic Story or Comic
The follow-up to #1 New York Times Bestseller Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, comes Octavia E. Butlerâs groundbreaking dystopian novel
In this graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butlerâs Parable of the Sower by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the award-winning team behind Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, the author portrays a searing vision of Americaâs future. In the year 2024, the country is marred by unattended environmental and economic crises that lead to social chaos. Lauren Olamina, a preacherâs daughter living in Los Angeles, is protected from danger by the walls of her gated community. However, in a night of fire and death, what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny . . . and the birth of a new faith.
