Feministischer Buchclub Linz & M.C.Monster*
On February 18, 2025, the feminist book club Linz will meet with the media club M.C.Monster* to discuss the book "The Parable of the Sower" by Octavia E. Butler .
Octavia E. Butler was an influential American science fiction author (1947-2006) who became known as one of the first Black women in this male-dominated genre. Butler is known for her groundbreaking works, which often deal with topics such as racism, gender roles, social injustice and humanity in futuristic or speculative contexts.
The Parable of the Sower
The novel is set in a dystopian future of the USA in 2024, characterized by social decay, climate change and extreme violence. The protagonist Lauren Olamina suffers from "hyperempathy" (the intense empathy for the pain and joy of others). After her isolated community is destroyed, she embarks on a dangerous journey to find a new life.
The feminist book club was founded by Conny Erber in 2019 and has been meeting every two months at different locations in Linz ever since. Together they talk about books, feminism and the realities of life - everyone is welcome in the book club. If you would like to be part of the feminist book club, please register by email at corneliaerber@hotmail.com.
M.C.Monster* is a queer-feminist media club that focuses on the fantastic genre with an emphasis on horror. In monthly meetings, topic-specific films are shown, texts are read, lectures are offered, exhibitions, cinemas and evening events are visited and (re-)discussed.
