"Octavia E. Butler (June 22, 1947-February 24, 2006) wrote 12 novels and won each of science fiction’s highest honors (Nebula and Hugo Awards). In 1995, she became the first science fiction writer to be awarded a MacArthur “genius” grant. The MacArthur Foundation said of Octavia E. Butler, “Her imaginative stories are transcendent fables, which have as much to do with the future as with the present and the past.” (New York Times, 11/17/22)"
Selections for One Book, One College are made by a team of librarians and faculty from several departments at ICC. If you have a suggestion for next year’s read, please contact Amy Glass.
