In Conversation: Knowing Octavia E. Butler

This evening presents two perspectives on the Afro-Futurist writer Octavia E. Butler from individuals who have engaged with Butler in different ways. Sue Hodson, a former librarian at The Huntington, befriended Butler and convinced her to donate her vast archives to The Huntington Library. Lynell George, author and Los Angeles native, spent four years researching Butler’s archive in preparation for her book entitled A Handful of Earth, A Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia E. Butler (2021). Join us to learn more about Butler and her intentional work as a writer.
