SUMMARY:The BAR Member Meeting - 1/17/2026
DESCRIPTION:“In the ongoing contest over which dystopian classic is most applicable to our time\, Octavia Butler’s ‘Parable’ books may be unmatched.”—The New Yorker \nFrom a celebrated\, award-winning author\, a modern classic about a young girl fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world\, perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin and Margaret Atwood. \nFifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father\, family\, and neighbors\, sheltered from the surrounding social chaos and anarchy caused by climate change and economic crisis. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk\, she suffers from hyperempathy—a debilitating sensitivity to others’ emotions. \nPrecocious and clear-eyed\, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny. \nIncludes a foreword by LeVar Burton and an afterword by N. K. Jemisin \nLauren’s story continues in The Parable of the Talents.
