VB Reads...Speculative Fiction

Village Books, Lunedì, Novembre 17, 2014 alle 7pm

Come discuss thought-provoking speculative fiction in a group that welcomes diversity. Science fiction and fantasy can be a great escape, but it can also be a great way to examine social issues and alternative viewpoints or identities. Historically, science fiction has often been used as a way of commenting on the biases of the age in which it is written, using metaphors such as the creation of robots, alternative relationships between alien species, and the colonization of other worlds to show contemporary problems or questions in a new light. The aim of this group is to enjoy reading provocative science fiction (and occasional fantasy) stories and discussing the themes they might present, in both the original context and for us as individuals today. This group meets the third Monday of every month at 7pm in the writing corner on the mezzanine level of Village Books. Authors DO NOT attend.

Lilith's Brood by Octavia E. Butler

Lilith Iyapo is in the Andes, mourning the death of her family, when war destroys Earth. Centuries later, she is resurrected -- by miraculously powerful unearthly beings, the Oankali. Driven by an irresistible need to heal others, the Oankali are rescuing our dying planet by merging genetically with mankind.

Greenlight Fiction Book Group

Greenlight Bookstore - Fulton Street, Martedì, Giugno 19, 2012 alle 7:30pm

Tuesday, June 19, 7:30 PM Greenlight Fiction Book Group discusses Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler

Led by former Greenlight staffer Natalie, this book group discusses paperback fiction; in 2012, the group is focusing on award winners and under-the-radar gems. For June the book group discusses Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, nominated for a Nebula award (which she won for the second book in the same series). When unattended environmental and economic crises lead to social chaos, not even gated communities are safe. In a night of fire and death Lauren Olamina, a minister's young daughter, loses her family and home and ventures out into the unprotected American landscape. But what begins as a flight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny... and the birth of a new faith.
