Question for #OctaviaButler fans: One of her few books that I haven't read is the posthumously published "Unexpected Stories," which I have found only as an e- book or limited edition, long out of print hardcover. Is that right? No plain old mass-market paperback for an author as great as Butler?

"I wasn't trying to work out my own ancestry. I was trying to get people to feel slavery. I was trying to get across the kind of emotional and psychological stones that slavery threw at people."

A Few Rules For Predicting The Future by Octavia E. Butler | Common Good Collective

"I mean, that guy who wants to be President, that Jarrett he would call you all heathens or pagans or something."
Indeed, he would. “Yes,” I said. “He does seem to enjoy calling people things like that. Once he’s made everyone who isn’t like him sound evil, then he can blame them for problems he knows they didn’t cause. That’s easier than trying to fix the problems."
-Octavia Butler
Does Jarrett sound familiar? #octaviabutler #read #think
