This guys is just crap, sorry. She deserved so much higher level of interviewer… the questions, gosh… The way he looks at his notes while she’s talking. 😒 She might have just thought : “oh well, let’s do this and go back home.” Anyway, very happy to see her and mesure her amazing and powerful prestance.
He is just a bad interviewer honestly, take a look at the itw with Donna Tart, it is beyond annoying...but great yes still have these gems from so many writer
Parable of the Sower and the Talents is what got me through the pandemic. It gave me hope and I am forever grateful to Octavia Butler truly brilliant and prophetic mind
This comment makes me so happy, thank you for sharing. I discovered Octavia Butler two years ago when I was 31! I'm so happy you can enjoy Butler's works as well as Morrison's
I was hospitalized for 37 days and, when I had enough energy, I went to thw patiwnt library. Ki dred was the only book (1) with a black person on the cover and(2) in large print. I grabbed it and thus commenced a love affair!
I am currently reading "Kindred" by Octavia Butler for my A.A. Studies class. So far, I am thoroughly impressed by how her mind works in writing novels. I am looking forward to reading the rest of her books as well. 💯
Gratitude for this soul. We get to see so much with these minds of our past but man what a jewel she is and I hope to meet her in one of my many realities. Rest here Goddess.
Such a treasure to hear her words and perspective!! But Charlie Rose is the WORST! Interrupting her constantly. Flipping through his notes. Looks like he can't wait to get on to the next guest. Her intellect is so vastly superior to his. Geesh.
["Parable of the Sower", by Octavia Butler, MAKE the movie! ] we need to make "Parable of the Sower" into a movie! why is it not ALREADY a movie?! this lady saw the future some 30+ years ago... well, that future is now, or almost now, like tomorrow, maybe a couple of years from now, but it's coming, as inevitable as an atmospheric river, blizzards in LA, massive widespread poverty, food riots, the scarcity of potable water, raging fires, guns, the whole kit'n'caboodle... it's happening right now, just getting rolling! you can hear the vast multitudes around the world, migrating, trying to live, be alive, have a life, families, friends, enemies, they are all moving, look at the borders... their porosity is only going to increase... can't stop it, this tsunami cannot be stopped... this lady saw the future, with the clarity of a vision, if we don't make this book into a movie right now, then no book should have ever been made into one
Infectious book. I can't wait to read the second. Can't help but like her in interviews too. Any suggestions of what book of her I should read after the sower books?
@@seandonaghuejohnston nice! I will have to check those out. Parable of the Sower is fantastic... I just wish it were longer since some threads wrap up so quickly.

He kept talking over her, too; interrupting her & not letting her finish.
I agree. Clearly, he has never read anything of hers.
My thoughts exactly.
She truly did deserve much better ✨
Yeah, he is. But it's okay. We got to see a glimpse of Octavia and what a beautiful mind she had. And let's read her books. Yeah.
Charlie really doesn’t know how to not interrupt her 🙄🙄🙄gross.
Still grateful to have this record of her words.
He is just a bad interviewer honestly, take a look at the itw with Donna Tart, it is beyond annoying...but great yes still have these gems from so many writer
He can’t stand letting a woman hold the power for 30 minutes. Now his sexual harassment allegations make total sense…

the Octavia's Parables podcast by toshi reagon and adrienne maree brown brought me out of a very dark place post Pandemic...
I'm 60 years old and just discovered Octavia Butler's wonderful books. She is now one of my favorite writers; Toni Morrison is the other.❤

"...sending my mind off some place it hasn't been before..." - the exact reason I picked up Kindred. What an author.
She is my favorite writer of all time and I will always be inspired by her works. Her art fuels my art❤

Reading it now for my A.A studies class. I’m blown away
It's marvelous.

Read her books, guys!
I blame this country I haven’t heard much interviews of this award winning author as far as all the book 📕 lovers we are!
Yes! I have several of her books & just added another. Parable of Sower and Parable of the Talents… her writing was prophetic.
Wow I could listen to her thoughts for hours and hours. So fascinating.
Just finished reading "Dawn" (my first Butler book) - what a rare and amazing talent. I can't wait to start another one of her books.
Dawn was my first book too🙌🏾✨
Man I wish I could sit down and talk to her.
I need to read her books! And the interviewer just kept
Over talking her 🙄
I could become a writer or I could die really young, it wasn’t anything else I wanted
You will become that writer!!!

Yeah he does/did that to all of his interviewees.
Not a fan of CR. But all good. Learned a lot from this interview.
Had the pleasure of meeting her any moons ago...very low key lady.
I think we can all learn from OEB. Humble, honest, sincere, great sense of humor, no time for stereotypes

Thanks for the upload
Ok very nice programm
Infectious book. I can't wait to read the second.

I'm on the third book of the Xenogenesis (or Lilith's Brood) trilogy, and all three books are fantastic. Still have to read the Parable novels.

@@teddykayy I'll read Parable of the Sower next then. Thanks!
