Parable of the Talents celebrates the classic Butlerian themes of alienation and transcendence, violence and spirituality, slavery and freedom, separation and community, to astonishing effect, in the shockingly familiar, broken world of 2032. Long awaited, Parable of the Talents is the continuation of the travails of Lauren Olamina, the heroine of 1994's NebulaPrize finalist, bestselling Parable of the Sower. Parable of the Talents is told in the voice of Lauren Olamina's daughterfrom whom she has been separated for most of the girl's lifewith sections in the form of Lauren's journal. Against a background of a wartorn continent, and with a farright religious crusader in the office of the U.S. presidency, this is a book about a society whose very fabric has been torn asunder, and where the basic physical and emotional needs of people seem almost impossible to meet.
