The Certainty of the Flesh: Octavia Butler’s Use of the Erotic in the Xenogenesis Trilogy. Among criticism of the series written after 2000, some, like me, continue to use Xenogenesis, while others have switched to Lilith’s Brood.īelk, Nolan. So far as I can tell, none of the previous criticism on the issue has addressed the title change except to mention it as a fact. I also made inquiries via personal Facebook and Twitter accounts while several people offered theories (e.g., that the emphasis on “Lilith” might be meant to appeal to Butler’s feminist audience), nobody was able to offer an answer. In doing research on the paper, I attempted to find the reasoning for the change, which occurred during Butler’s lifetime (2000), but was unable to find any information whatsoever on the matter, whether it was Butler’s decision or a publisher’s, what the reasoning was, and so on. As I prefer the original, Xenogenesis, on both aesthetic and thematic grounds, that is the title I will use throughout this paper. As referenced in the previous footnote, the current omnibus edition of the series uses the alternate title Lilith’s Brood.
