This gripping graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s groundbreaking dystopian novel stands beside the acclaimed previous graphic novel adaptations, Kindred, a #1 New York Times bestseller, and Parable of the Sower, winner of the Hugo Award Set against a background of a war-torn continent under the control of a Christian fundamentalist fascist state, Parable of the Talents is a modern masterpiece that resonates powerfully. This graphic novel adaptation is brought to life thrillingly by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the creative team behind the #1 New York Times bestselling adaptation of Kindred. Parable of the Talents is told in the voice of Lauren Olamina’s daughter, Asha Vere—from whom she has been separated for most of the girl’s life—interspersed with sections in the form of Lauren’s own journals. Asha searches for answers about her past while struggling to reconcile with her mother’s legacy—caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future among the stars. Octavia E. Butler's bestselling literary science-fiction masterpieces are essential works in feminist, Afrofuturist, and fantasy genres, and this compelling graphic novel adaptation of Parable of the Talents is a major event.

Hemma är ett nytt hus med en älskad man i 1970-talets Kalifornien. Men plötsligt befinner hon sig i den skrämmande värld som var den amerikanska södern före inbördeskriget 1861–1865. Dana, en ung svart författare, kan inte förklara hur hon förflyttas genom tid och rum till en plantage i Maryland. Men hon inser snart varför: för att lösa de problem som drabbar Rufus, en motsägelsefull vit slavägare – och hennes egen anfader. Hennes överlevnad, själva hennes existens, beror på om hon lyckas. Den här svidande starka serieromanen är baserad på Octavia E. Butlers klassiska science fiction-roman Kindred. Liksom Butlers roman ger den en gripande och klarsynt bild av slaveriets brutala och definierande inverkan på de människor det länkade samman, svarta såväl som vita – och ofta förenade med blodsband i ordets mest konkreta bemärkelse.
