Octavia Butler Tribute
Via Tstop's Film Shack, a video tribute to the novelist Octavia Butler. I didn't write about Butler when she passed away earlier this year, but her novel, Kindred is one of my favorite books. I've taught the novel twice, once at Illinois and once at Purdue, and on both occasions, it provoked thoughtful and passionate discussion, which I read as testimony to her skill as a novelist. The short tribute appears to have been filmed at a book signing for Fledgling, which I've heard is a great book.
Update: Tstop also offers this Spike Lee interview from German television.
