What's Making You Sappy Episode 3: Damian E. Duffy, John Jennings, and Shelley Streeby

This week's episode of "What's Making You Sappy" is all about the legacy of Octavia Butler, an exceptional science fiction writer who wrote about gender and sexuality in bold new ways. With that, we have graphic novel and sci-fi recommendations from Shelley Streeby, Professor of Literature and Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego, Director of Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Workshop, John Jennings, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies and a Collaborating Faculty Member in the Department of Creative Writing at UC Riverside, and Damian E. Duffy, a Cartoonist, Scholar, Lecturer, Writer, Curator, Teacher, #1 New York Times Bestseller Graphic Novelist. Jennings and Duffy are collaborating on a project to adapt Butler’s Kindred and Parable of the Sower to graphic novels.–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Share your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!
