Join a lively discussion with a new monthly book club hosted by the Mount Rainier Library and the Office of Human Rights! The event will be held the 3rd Tuesday of each month in the upstairs lounge area of Mixt Food Hall in Brentwood, MD. This month we are discussing Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower."
"Parable of the Sower" is a speculative fiction novel by Octavia Butler. Originally published in 1993, the story takes place in a post-apocalyptic 2024 where Lauren Olamina, a 15-year-old girl who physically feels others’ pain, is displaced from her Los Angeles home and must embark on a grim and dangerous journey to safety. As she travels, she develops her own belief system - one that, if shared, could save all of humanity.
