Parable of the Talents: Ch 14

A dense, bruising, painful chapter.

A year has passed. A year of enslavement at Camp Christian. With an escape attempt, and its consequences. And a brutal, wasteful, pointless war.

We learn more of Larkin’s childhood life in her adoptive family, with its cruelties and violations.

Sickness strikes Camp Christian. A betrayal. A storm. And liberation.

Toshi and adrienne explore chapter 14 of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Talents, and as always, offer questions for you and your people to consider.
