expressing my love for parable of the talents through fake tv show screenshots
books i read in 2026:
"parable of the sower"
octavia e. butler
"they were slow changes compared to anything that might happen here, but it took a plague to make some of the people realize that things could change. so? things are changing now, too. our adults haven’t been wiped out by a plague so they’re still anchored in the past, waiting for the good old days to come back. but things have changed a lot, and they’ll change more."
What do y’all think of Larkin/Asha from Parable of the Talents? She’s very interesting and has definitely had a lot of trauma growing up. I don’t exactly blame her for resenting Lauren, I just think it’s devastating how Lauren didn’t find Asha/Larkin until decades later. I’m also asking myself how it was possible for Lauren not to find her once Earthseed grew popular and she gained all these resources. Marc found Asha/Larkin approximately a few years after CA captured Acorn. Of course because he’s an asshole who likes to fraternize with people he KNOWS tortured his sister, he had the resources of CA to find her. But I think Lauren could’ve been able to find Larkin/Asha sooner, at least once Earthseed gained so many followers. What do y’all think?
Reading The Road rn how the hell did Cormac McCarthy manage to make Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler seem like a party in comparison, I do not know.

She Blinded Me with Science-Fiction: Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower
To begin, let's take a moment to be personally upset that Octavia Butler is no longer with us. If you aren't upset yet, it's time to read some more Octavia Butler. Start with Parable? Reading this back to back with The Stand was a trip. While I defend King and The Stand, I don't really feel the need to defend his tepid attempt at writing a Black, religious woman who's sheer wisdom and charisma makes her a beacon of hope and prosperity in the American end times, especially because does the exact same thing ten Octavillion times better.
Parable is a bit unusual in my mind; it blurs the lines of fiction, reality, and the meaning of speculative in a way I don't often encounter. It's certainly a great story (especially paired with it's maybe even better sequel), but it also reads as a genuine religious statement, and perhaps even more frightening an askew sort of instruction manual. To Joyce Carol Oates question on what book has the power to change lives today, the answer is Parable of the Sower. If it doesn't change yours, you're a square, a no-nothing, or maybe you just need to read it again while I explain everything in your ear. I'd recommend this to Joyce Carol Oates, and...sniff...the Joyce Carol Oates in all of us...

"That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times."
