Octavia Butler
We give our dead
To the orchards
And the groves.
We give our dead
To life.
-- Octavia Butler, from The Parable of the Talents
I sat down to type that in about an hour ago and haven't been able to put the book down since. The story is as ruthless as Olamina's god; it doesn't let go. I'm so deeply sorry she's gone, when she might have written so much more.
