Positive Obsession: the life and times of Octavia Butler [View all]

Susana M. Morris
HarperCollins 2025

Biography, literary analysis, politics and politicians (her take on Reagan, Bush 1&2, t et al are perfect). History of everything.

She loved horses.

She was a MacArthur Genius grant recipient. Unheard of for a sci fi writer.

Also a terribly lonely loner.

The book is an easy read. And I want to know more.
