Softcover. Condition: new. A young woman harnesses her newfound power to challenge the ruthless man who controls her, in this brilliant and provocative novel from the award-winning author of Parable of the Sower.Mary is a treacherous experiment. Her creator, an immortal named Doro, has molded the human race for generations, seeking out those with unusual talents like telepathy and breeding them into a new subrace of humans who obey his every command. The result is Mary: a young black woman living on the rough outskirts of Los Angeles in the 1970s, who has no idea how much power she will soon wield.Doro knows he must handle Mary carefully or risk her ending like his previous experiments: dead, either by her own hand or Doro's. What he doesn't suspect is that Mary's maturing telepathic abilities may soon rival his own power. By linking telepaths with a viral pattern, she will create the potential to break free of his control once and for all-and shift the course of humanity.

First Edition Signed
First edition of Butler's second book; the chilling "pre-sequel" to Patternmaster. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To Ron Keep Reading Octavia E. Butler." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with a touch of shelfwear. Jacket design by Jan Esteves. The second novel in the Patternist series, Mind of My Mind recounts the story of how the Patternist society originated. Set in Forsyth, California in the 1970s, it is the story of Mary, a young, poor biracial woman who, after accessing her previously latent telepathic powers, must fight her immortal father Doro to preserve the lives of the Patternist community. Butler's first published novel, 1976's Patternmaster, was the first book in this series to appear. From 1977 until 1984, she published four more Patternist novels: Mind of My Mind (1977), Survivor (1978), Wild Seed (1980) and Clay's Ark (1984).

First Edition Signed
First editions, first printings, a rare complete set, signed by the author on the title page of Wild Seed and inscribed in Clay's Ark, "To Yvette, Best wishes, Octavia E. Butler". The recipient was Yvette Le Roy, founder of Liberty House in Harlem. Her store sold handcrafts produced by the Mississippi co-operative Poor People's Corporation and hosted poetry readings by Gwendolyn Brooks and Nikki Giovanni. Including Butler's debut novel Patternmaster, the series charts the ascendance of the paranormal race of patternists, led by the patternmaster, from their origins in ancient times to the far future where they rule over the diseased Clayarks and ordinary humans ("Mutes"). "Much of the power of the sequence derives from the chargedness and cognitive focus occasioned by her background and punishing early experiences in urban California, a confluence of influences and incarcerations [that] seems to have underwritten - as with other writers who were non-white - the tough embodiedness of the characters she created" (SFE). Butler was the first Black woman to receive both the Nebula and Hugo awards, as well as being the first science fiction author to be granted a MacArthur fellowship. Her work "creates powerful images of black women in a genre in which and from which they have traditionally been marginalized and excluded" (Boutler, p. 170). Amanda Boulter, "Polymorphous Futures", American Bodies: Cultural Histories of the Physique, 1996. Five works, octavo. Original variously coloured boards lettered on the spines. With dust jackets. Occasional bump, minor rubbing, foxing to endpapers, Patternmaster front inner hinge just starting; jackets unclipped, gentle spine fading, creasing to edges, a couple of short closed tears, presenting well: a near-fine set in very good jackets.
