Stephanie Hammer's Official Blog
about 11 years ago i had the great pleasure of talking to one of my favorite writers for a longish time. the writer was octavia butler and she was getting ready to finish the parable of the sower. she was relaxed, unpretentious, and happy to talk about her books. statuesque and devoid of bullshit, she was a delight to speak with at UCR at the Eaton Conference, where she was a speaker.
Octavia Butler's fiction inspired me to write sf, futurist work, and to try to talk about race and difference.
i guess we sf girls better start writing.
goodbye octavia. thank you for imago, and the porous organic space ships, and fathers who give birth, and always women who survive.
