The Parable of the Sower with Dr. Flavia Ruzi

<p>For Episode # 5 of the Lit Matters Podcast, Chris is joined by Dr. Flavia Ruzi, a Professor of English at Orange Coast College, to discuss Octavia E. Butler’s prophetic vision of the near future, The Parable of the Sower. If the goal of Lit Matters is to build up a collective bookshelf of books that can help change the world, then this novel and this discussion is one you need to hear. Remember:</p> <p>               All that you touch You Change.</p> <p>               All that you Change Changes you.</p> <p>               The only lasting truth Is Change.</p> <p>For listeners in the Southern California area, here is a fascinating “personal geography” of Pasadena sites connected to Octavia E.
