message: "Imago brings a sense of completeness to the three books" sounds a bit as a opinion, especially since reception section of the article claims the opposite.

message: Hi everyone! I will be working on this page for a student project and wanted to post some sources I am planning to study and assess for potential reference in this article.
* Bowden. (2016). Octavia’s brood: Riding the ox home. ProQuest Dissertations Publishing.
** Dissertation describing a dance concert inspired by Butler/Lilith's Brood. May be useful for themes and symbology, as well as representative of the philosophies emerging from Octavia's work, particularly Lilith's Brood. (I am also open to realizing that this is not applicable once I have read it in full.)
* Dunkley, Kitty (2018): Becoming-Posthuman: The Sexualized, Racialized and Naturalized Others of Octavia Butler’s Lilith’s Brood. Open Access Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington. Thesis. https://doi.org/10.26686/wgtn.17072657.v1 
** Dissertation applying a post-human theoretical framework to Lilith's Brood
* Imarisha, Brown, A. M., & Thomas, S. R. (2015). Octavia’s brood : science fiction stories from social justice movements. AK Press.
** Book of sci-fi stories based on Lilith's Brood - may not be a source in itself, but I'd like to read the introduction. I think there's space to mention the philosophies emerging out of Lilith's Brood in this article, and this book is a good example.
* Johns. (2010). Becoming Medusa: Octavia Butler’s “Lilith’s Brood” and Sociobiology. Science-Fiction Studies, 37(3), 382–400.
** Explores the use of sociobiology in the Lilith's brood series
* Nanda. (2013). POWER, POLITICS, AND DOMESTIC DESIRE IN OCTAVIA BUTLER’S “LILITH’S BROOD.” Callaloo, 36(3), 773–788. https://doi.org/10.1353/cal.2013.0164
** Discusses Butler's engagement with colonial dynamics in depth, and touches on the Cold War background for these books 
There is also a wealth of sources in the additional reading section that I plan to look into, but I wanted to do some initial research on my own as well.
I welcome any thoughts you might have on these!

replies: text: It looks like some of these are just papers by non-notable authors, not published in any notable academic journals. As such, ideas and suggestions in them may constitute undue emphasis on non-notable ideas, and could tempt you to commit original research and synthesis, which is not welcomed in Wikipedia articles. But I still miss Octavia (getting to talk to her was always a highlight of :WisCon every year), and am glad that people are paying attention to her work. (And I still prefer the title Xenogenesis.) --Orange Mike | Talk 20:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
