The Bushwick Book Club Seattle presents Original Music Inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s PARABLE OF THE SOWER

The year is 2024. The world teeters on the edge of chaos. An authoritarian president looms. Octavia Butler’s astonishingly prescient novel Parable of the Sower weaves together urgent themes of hope, resilience, societal change, and individual perseverance. Texas and Missouri are among the states who found Butler’s stark warning too potent for library shelves. Presented in partnership with Seattle Public Library and Clarion West.

Admission is FREE thanks to generous support from the Seattle Public Library Foundation, but attendees must still reserve a ticket. Advance reservations recommended.

“[Parable of the Sower] succeeds on multiple levels. A gripping tale of survival and a poignant account of growing up sane in a disintegrating world.” — New York Times

“This was a cautionary tale, although people have told me it was prophecy. All I have to say to that is: I certainly hope not.” — Octavia Butler

Heads up: Butler pulls no punches in detailing her dystopian landscape—brace yourself for many forms of human cruelty, including racism, murder, and sexual assault.

Performers include: Helen America, ATHR, Amber Flame, Reggie Garrett, Amy Laybourn, Asha Neely, Vince Martinez, Nottingham & Wicks
