The graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler' s groundbreaking dystopian novel, Parable of the Sower, the follow-up to Kindred, a #1 New York Times bestsellerIn this graphic-novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler' s Parable of the Sower by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the award-winning team behind Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, the author portrays a searing vision of America' s future. In the year 2024, the country is marred by unattended environmental and economic crises that lead to social chaos. Lauren Olamina, a preacher' s daughter living in Los Angeles, is protected from danger by the walls of her gated community. However, in a night of fire and death, what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny . . . and the birth of a new faith.
"Duffy and Jennings have done justice to Butler' s work, losing none of the story' s richness and adding an exciting visual element that makes the reading experience even more visceral and engrossing. "-- "Forward Reviews, STARRED review" "The Parable of the Sower graphic novel. . . is as faithful an adaptation as you can get. Not only does it hit all the plot points, it perfectly portrays Butler' s balancing act in regard to how far society has fallen apart. "-- "Kirkus"

He holds a MS and PhD in library and information sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he is on faculty. John Jennings is the curator of the Megascope list and illustrator of the graphic-novel adaptations of Octavia E. Butler' s Kindred and Parable of the Sower.
