Description
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller
Octavia E. Butler’s bestselling literary science-fiction masterpiece, Kindred, now in graphic novel format.
More than 35 years after its release, Kindred continues to attract in new readers with its deep exploration of the violence and loss of humanity caused by slavery in the USA, and its complex and lasting affect on the present day. Adapted by celebrated academics and comics artists Damian Duffy and John Jennings, this graphic novel powerfully renders Butler’s mysterious and moving story, which spans racial and gender divides in the antebellum South through the 20th century.
Butler’s most celebrated, critically acclaimed work tells the story of Dana, a young black woman who is abruptly and inexplicably transported from her home in 1970s California to the pre–Civil War South. As she time-travels between worlds, one in which she is a free woman and one where she is a part of her own complicated familial history on a southern plantation, she becomes frighteningly entangled in the lives of Rufus, a conflicted white slaveholder and one of Dana’s own ancestors, and the many people who find themselves enslaved by him.
Held up as an essential work in feminist, science-fiction, and fantasy genres, and a cornerstone of the Afrofuturism movement, there are over 500,000 copies of Kindred in print. The intersectionality of race, history, and the remedy of women addressed within the original work remain critical topics in latest dialogue, both in the study room and in the public sphere.
Frightening, compelling, and richly imagined, Kindred offers an unflinching have a look at our complicated social history, transformed by the graphic novel format into a visually stunning work for a new generation of readers.
