Conversations with Octavia Butler by Octavia E. Butler, Conseula Francis

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

I loved this collection and insight into Octavia Butler's mind. As others said, the interviews got a bit repetitive, since many covered the same ground over and over. Still, there were some gems, and Butler was clearly patient, thoughtful, and visionary.
