She's also coming to Univ. of Iowa from April 4-6. People can see her where it's relatively warm or they can wait and see her where it's warmer. Contact me for info on the UI thing. It's nice to see her so busy. -Sean Johnston >Internationally-acclaimed author Octavia Butler will visit the Eastern New >Mexico University campus on the 8th and 9th of May, 1997.

As a teacher of Freshman Composition, I hoped to further my knowledge of some sci-fi writers -- particularly Octavia Butler, as my students are now reading _Kindred_. Woe is me, though, because I cannot make it to Iowa to see her. Does anyone know if she will be coming to the east coast? Or, will Sean Johnston or Laura Quilter know of anyone who will be videotaping her visit? I'd love to share her talk with my kiddies. -Lissa Bloomer Virginia Tech ebloomer@vt.edu ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 13:14:04 -0600 Reply-To: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" Sender: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" From: olskool "REVIEW" ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 21 Mar 1997 13:14:58 -0600 Reply-To: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" Sender: "For discussion of feminist SF, fantastic & utopian literature" From: olskool "INFO REFCARD" =========================================================================
