Parable of the Sower was published in 1993, and takes place in 2024. The dystopian world Butler paints in this book is so close to our current reality it’s eerie .
Eleder reseñó La parábola del sembrador de Octavia E. Butler (Earthseed, #1)
La grandeza de lo sencillo
Hace tiempo que leí Xenogénesis, pero de lo poco que recordaba de ella era cómo la autora nos conducía, de la mano de un punto de vista, a la comprensión de fenómenos totalmente ajenos.
Aquí no es precisamente la ajenidad lo que nos atañe, sino un posible futuro nada impensable. Pero nuevamente, el punto de vista de la protagonista nos lleva de la mano y nos explica un futuro casi apocalíptico, con desgracias y miseria constantes, pero siempre, siempre, con esperanza.
