OctaviaButler.net A fan blog for Octavia E. Butler, writer.

I am thrilled to be posting about Invisible Universe, a project by M. Asli Dukan. Dukan is creating a documentary about Blackness in speculative fiction. She has posted an inspiring 4-minute video tribute to Octavia. To see the tribute, go to Invisible Universe, click the Octavia E.

The photograph of Octavia is by Milbert Orlando Brown. The obituary, published on Slate.com, is by Tyler Cowen. Read it here: Octavia Butler: The outsider who changed science fiction.

I enjoyed this remembrance from journalist and friend of Octavia Butler, Sharon Ball. The page has three parts: the audio remembrance, an essay by Octavia called "On Racism", and a collection of links on NPR about Octavia (look to the bottom of the page).
