i got word from steven barnes' website (darkush.blogspot.com) that octavia butler passed away on saturday.
we've talked (more on scifinoir) about how to grow blacks in the field of science fiction (one word--VATS!). butler wrote about issues that mattered to her without compromise, without apology. in a matter of fact matter. it is what it is. i'd been a sf addict way before i encountered butler....but i read everything with a different pair of eyes because of encountering her. lks Community email addresses: Post message: SciFiNoir_Lit@yahoogroups.com Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe Digest Mode: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SciFiNoir_Lit/ Yahoo!
