[African American][Literature][Sci-Fi] Butler, Octavia E. Dawn. New York: Warner Books, 1987. First edition. Original teal boards with dark blue quarter cloth binding, author, title and published stamped in gilt on spine. Original dustjacket with purple and white text and illustration of a nude sleeping woman emerging from a green tube with another woman standing over her. Dawn is the first novel in Butler's Lilith's Brood trilogy, also published together under the title Xenogenesis. The novel follows Lilith Iyapo, one of the only surviving humans saved by an alien race after the Earth's destruction by nuclear war. The book was inspired by the Cold War and Butler's imagination of what a post-nuclear world might look like. The trilogy addresses themes of race, gender, and sexuality and has been read by some scholars as an allegory for American slavery. Octavia Butler (1947-2006) is now considered one of the most renowned and prescient science fiction authors of the late 20th century and the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship. Her work is especially notable as popular fiction by a black woman in the largely white and male dominated field of science fiction. Near fine in very good dustjacket. An well preserved first edition of this prominent novel by sci-fi legend Octavia Butler.
