Biographie de l'auteur
OCTAVIA E. BUTLER, often referred to as the "grand dame of science fiction," was the author of several award-winning novels including Parable of the Talents, winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel. Recipient of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant and numerous literary awards, she has been acclaimed for her lean prose, strong protagonists, and social observations in stories that range from the distant past to the far future. She passed away on February 24, 2006.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Doro is an entity who changes bodies like clothes, killing his hosts by reflex -- or design. He fears no one -- until he meets Anyanwu. Anyanwu is a shapeshifter who can absorb bullets and heal with a kiss...and savage anyone who threatens those she loves. She fears no one -- until she meets Doro. From African jungles to the colonies of America, Doro and Anyanwu weave together a pattern of destiny that not even immortals can imagine.

Dust Jacket: Near Fine Hardcover: Near Fine (Although published in 1980 as the fourth book of the Patternist series, it is the earliest book in the chronology of the Patternist world. The other books in the series are, in order within the Patternist chronology: Mind of My Mind (1977), Clay's Ark (1984), Survivor (1978), and Patternmaster (1976). In his survey of Butler's work, critic Burton Raffel singles out Wild Seed as an example of Butler's 'major fictive talent', calling the book's prose 'precise and tautly cadence,' 'forceful because it is focused' and 'fictively superbly effective' because it is in each and every detail true to the character's lives.).

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. Fine book and fine dust jacket. Book looks unread. Light remainder spray to bottom page edge. The dust jacket has the original $10.00 price on front flap. A beautiful copy. Stated first Edition. Butler's fifth novel, and the first book chronologically in her five-volume Patternist series. Drawing on the same body of research into chattel slavery that Butler used for "Kindred" (1979), "Wild Seed" explores the fraught, multi-century relationship between two African immortals, one a shape-shifter and the other a psychic parasite capable of switching bodies.
