A Handful of Earth, a Handful of Sky: The World of Octavia Butler by Lynell George

challenging emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

4.0

Is there a word for a memoir written by someone else? Not a biography, I do know how words word, but something that is constructed out of an authors own ideas and writings that is kind of them and kind of not?
This book is that; it’s an invitation into the life of Octavia E. Butler and I think I love her even more after it. I’m not sure how she’d have personally identified, but she feels like a neurodivergent role model. 
Also she refused to drive.
