Parable of the Talents: A Graphic Novel Adaptation

NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work-Graphic Novel

Set against a background of a war-torn continent under the control of a Christian fundamentalist fascist state, Parable of the Talents is a modern masterpiece that resonates powerfully.

This graphic novel adaptation is brought to life thrillingly by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the creative team behind the #1 New York Times bestselling adaptation of Kindred.

Parable of the Talents is told in the voice of Lauren Olamina's daughter, Asha Vere-from whom she has been separated for most of the girl's life-interspersed with sections in the form of Lauren's own journals.

Asha searches for answers about her past while struggling to reconcile with her mother's legacy-caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future among the stars.

Octavia E. Butler's bestselling literary science-fiction masterpieces are essential works in feminist, Afrofuturist, and fantasy genres, and this compelling graphic novel adaptation of Parable of the Talents is a must-read graphic novel for our time.
