Sunday Feature: Octavia E Butler

Series 1, episode 0

The words of celebrated science-fiction and fantasy writer Octavia E. Butler take listeners on a journey of discovery. During her career, Butler invited readers to traverse difficult terrain through the prism of a genre fiction that had not quite accepted different perspectives: landscapes that were human rather than technological, earthbound rather than among the planets. Her published career ran from the 1970s until her death in 2006, across decades of economic, environmental and political upheaval. She is now considered an important part of the science fiction canon, but during her lifetime she experienced works going in and out of print and the archive of her recorded voice is sparse. This documentary examines the notion of legacy and who gets to be remembered
