Book Launch for
Fledgling
By Octavia Butler
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 7pm
Fledgling, Octavia Butler’s first new novel in seven years, is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly un-human needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: she is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human.
