About this event

Join the Carl Brandon Society, host Nisi Shawl, and a party room full of authors, editors, and academics as they come together to honor our deeply beloved and missed foremother with a reading of The Book of the Living, the sacred text of the religion found in Butler’s groundbreaking (and prescient) Parable series.

This virtual event is free. If you purchase a ticket you'll get a reminder via email before we begin.
