The late, great Octavia Butler has been named to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.
This is awesome news.
The ceremony will be June 26 in Seattle at the Science Fiction Museum.
Whenever I talk about Octavia and how meaningful her work is to me, I become inarticulate, so I won’t mention how well-deserved this honor is, how unfortunately short her life was or how much poorer we are as readers because we never got to experience her full literary vision.
Instead, after the jump, how about a photo of the Octavia-inspired moppet who keeps me from having as much time to blog?
Yeah, I thought that might work.
