Creatures covered in writhing tentacles, the Oankali had saved every surviving human from a dying, ruined Earth. They healed the planet, cured cancer, increased strength, and were now ready to help Lilith lead her people back to Earth -- but for a price." "Octavia Estelle Butler (June 22, 1947 - February 24, 2006) was an American science fiction writer, one of very few African-American women in the field. She won both Hugo and Nebula awards. In 1995, she became the first science fiction writer to receive MacArthur Foundation 'Genius' Grant. Her first published story, 'Crossover,' appeared in Clarion's 1971 anthology; another short story, 'Childfinder,' was bought by Harlan Ellison for the never-published collection The Last Dangerous Visions. In 1974, she started the novel Patternmaster (reportedly related to the story she started after watching Devil Girl from Mars), which became her first published book in 1976 (though it would become the fifth in the Patternist series). Over the next eight years, she would publish four more novels in the same story line, though the publication dates of the novels do not match the internal order of the series. In 1979, she published Kindred, a novel that uses the science-fiction technique of time travel to explore slavery in the United States. In this story, Dana, an African American woman, is taken from 1976 to turn-of-the-19th-century ante-bellum South. She meets her ancestors, Rufus, a white slave holder; and Alice, an African American woman who was born free but forced into slavery later in life. This novel is often shelved in the literature or African-American literature sections of bookstores instead of science fiction -- Butler herself categorized the novel not as science fiction but rather as a 'grim fantasy' -- Kindred became the most popular of all her books, with 250,000 copies currently in print. 'I think people really need to think what it's like to have all of society arrayed against you,' she said of the novel. Butler began her Xenogenesis trilogy in 1987. The central characters are Lilith and her genetically altered children. Lilith, along with the few other surviving humans, are abducted by extraterrestrials, the Oankali, after a 'handful of people [a military group] tried to commit humanicide,' leading to a missile war that destroyed much of Earth. The Oankali have a third gender, the ooloi, who have the ability to manipulate genetics, plus the ability of sexually seductive neural-stimulating and consciousness-sharing powers. All of these abilities allow them to unify the other two genders in their species, as well as unifying their species with others that they encounter. The Oankali are biological traders, driven to share genes with other intelligent species, changing both parties. The entire series, Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago, was released in 2000 as the single volume titled Lilith's Brood. In 1994, her dystopian novel Parable of the Sower was nominated for a Nebula for best novel, an award she finally took home in 1999 for a sequel, Parable of the Talents. The two novels provide the origin of the fictional religion Earthseed. Butler had originally planned to write a third Parable novel, tentatively titled Parable of the Trickster, mentioning her work on it in a number of interviews, but at some point encountered a form of writer's block, going seven years without publishing a new novel. She eventually shifted her creative attention, resulting in the 2005 novel, Fledgling, a vampire novel with a science-fiction context. Although Butler herself passed Fledgling off as a lark, the novel is connected to her other works through its exploration of race, sexuality, and what it means to be a member of a community. Moreover, the novel continues the theme, raised explicitly in Parable of the Sower, that diversity is a biological imperative." -- Wikipedia (more information)
